Less waste on posts

- No point in having posts on ever post, it's fine in user profile but not here
- Same with join date, it isn't necessary to know with every post
- Isn't the person who made the post going to be the same as the person who, ya know, made the post? Remove duplication
- Move post time/date stamp to not waste a line. It's in a different font size/style anyway
- Remove post titles (rarely used and pointless, most of the time it is just Re: ...), leave thread titles though!

Wasteful space is wasteful. Approx 40% of the space is wasted on non-content...



EDIT: ENARIS POSTS ARE THE MOST WASTEFUL. I joke of course, I just happened to have a thread with his post open ;D

It's a very common format and it doesn't bother me.

Gorman, Greasemonkey it. Set proper css styles for certain element and your wish will be fulfilled.

I agree and disagree. Some of the stuff is nonsense. Half of peoples post are more blank than full. The decrease in post per page is a bit annoying as well, but we need to live with it.

Can see a little bit what you mean, I'll see what can be done.

EDIT: Made some tweaks, join date is hidden, the widths have been altered to almost be the minimum they can be. There may be further tweaks to this, not sure - shall talk with the staff.

I blame you since your location is giant and stretches the user-identity area!!!!

<30% of your post is content!!!!!!!!!!
