    Webmaster: VBulletin Is Great!!!!

    But....

    Only one small problem I noticed...

    Webmaster,

    You listed the member's posts vertically instead of horizontally.

    From what I've seen on pretty much every VBulletin site I've been to, the posts and members info is listed horizontally. It makes for a much easier read and IMO a cleaner look overall.

    Here's an example:

    (WWBM.com - picture on left[vertical], WTer - picture on right[horiztonal])

    Also, another minor issue that would really make things easier for users to read..

    The width of the VBulletin is too short. It should be wider for easier reading.

    Also, maybe adding more graphics and style to the bulletin to make it more personalized like a site such as Bimmerpost.com

    Here's an example:

    WWBM - on the right, BimmerPost - On the left

    I switched it to vertical instead of horizontal.

    That forum link you sent me is a full screen. I agree this forum style does look a little tight in width compared to phpBB. I'll play with some more options tonight and see.

    Also, it might be easier for members to just see the attached images as their true size instead of clicking on the picture multiple times to see the full resolution.

    Why do we now have to wait 30 seconds between each post?

    Are you able to disable that?

    I am going to take a look at this and also automated resizing.

    I wrote the developer of the new dating script (for the personals) to find out what width they are using. I'll then expand the board to that size. It does appear to be a bit wider, though not full screen.
