nice feature, but whoever developed this:
please don't tell me you're doing a mysql select every time you query a user is online or not. this is going to increase server load hugely, might explain why some people are experiencing it to be slow. there's much more efficient ways to achieve this (which, i assume you know of).

you mean I will like it with time?
well... I got my estetic taste pretty much formed by now... I have my own estetical ideas (remember I am an architect) and the minimalistical look of the place was one of the bests I have seen till now
but when you start to add little things and colours it breaks the balance of the page In my opinion of course....
maybe other colours and no borders would help

a neat feature that would be nice to add is a "users viewing this thread" summary too, perhaps above the "instant reply" textbox. i can see that as useful.

agreed. the suggestion of black/white boxes mentioned earlier i quite like.
this isn't a nessecary feature, though, because the information this presents in a slightly more usable format is already available on the page anyway.

so we added a dot and the minimalstic look is now gone. i guess you're allergic to the watmm layout then. ;-)
anyway, it will be replaced with something more subtle soon.

I dont say that just cos of that the minimalistic look is gone... dont be so susceptible...
but minimalism is indeed very strict.... and when you start adding things (as small as they are) the minimalism is in danger....
if you say its gonna be changed by a more subtle thing in the future then you are showing that you agree with me
about watmm:
it never pretended to be minimalistic, so its ok. I am not a minimalism lover or something.... but if something is minimalistic I want it to be it 100%
if something is "barroco" I want it 100% barroco
but I can like both styles
though I admitt I prefer the look of xlt.... but I supose I have the right to have my own taste no matter where I am a mod

Nacmat is the Albert Speer to Joyrex's Goebbels.

watmm is overboard, like when you completely cover your walls in posters and magazine cuttings, putting crap up there just to fill in the blank wall spaces...i prefer xlt

avatars feet perfectly cos they are windows to our brains, they are not part of the page... more like holes in the page... the squares are like m&ms all over the page

just because you thought up some kind of philosophy behind avatars they're okay? I THINK NOT!
following that logic the squares are just "windows into our online/offline-ness" and therefore quite beautiful and touching. :)

Sorry, I really do take that back. The joke was in the fact that it didn't stand up to close, nor indeed cursory, analysis. I am in no way suggesting your aesthetics align you with any facistic tendancies.
I think no border on the squares, and different shades of grey or beige, or khaki, as is the current XLT palate.

they're extremely ugly and make the place (any Invision board, but in this case specifically watmmmm) look even more chaotic than it already was.

I agree with you
I cannot make an statement here
I will just describe my likings:
I like xlt looks more than anyother page in the internet
I like how avatars fit in xlt
I dont like the new little squares
and I am happy to see that phob thinks like me in some % as he is changing them to something more subtle

How about in the space under our avatar if it clearly said Online or Offine? That way black text could be used. It might look better.
Dunno though

I was just arguing for argument's sake. :)
anyway, I agree with the green/red thing - like dog_belch says, something more part of the current XLT-palate would be better.
