Implemented [Suggestion] Some sort of divider above signatures

[BirdOPrey5]

I find myself reading some people's sigs as if they were the last line of text in a post and not a signature... it sometimes gets confusing especially if people have a plain text sig. I think a line or divider of some type would be better to clearly separate a signature from the main post.

If the dashed line was a little lighter color, and was limited to about 90% width, I think it may work for most.

Personally I think the light blue used as post dividers is too light and is very difficult to see.

My "go figure" was posted because people want one thing, get it, then it's not what they wanted.
It has nothing whatsoever to do with people contributing to design improvements, nor was I defensive.

Ah, okay Peggy, thanks for explaining . Electronic communication is not always easy. Just that I get the impression sometimes (see also here) that suggestions (and lively discussions) about UI elements sometimes get a bit of a defensive feedback from some. Maybe defensive is not the right word, but if people think an improvement should be made and an offered solution is not quite what works perfect yet, then it only needs some fine tuning. 'Go figure' sounds a bit negative to me, in relation to our positively meant feedback. That's all. But I am a sensitive guy. . I refused to go to the army (that would've made me hard as... vB4' UI/UX). Go figure.

LOL, I gotcha. Nope I wasn't being defensive. I'm sensitive too, so don't make me cry.

Exactly, "Like" that

That post divider is too dark imo, erich37, I think the current one is perfect. Maybe the signature divider can be a bit lighter.

 

[erich37]

whatever color you use is not important.
It is just that the color of the post-divider-line should be darker than the Signature-dashed-line.

I really like Brogan's example. Bottom line is that the signature line now is too obtrusive, it is more visible then the post divider and that is no good. Talking about dark post dividers, remember this?:

Amen.

Yes looks nice, and I really like the little icon that shows which posts are new since last visit. Nice touches

And now it is. You can change it when you get it if you want to.

how did you accomplish this, Peggy ?

Well done !

They look the same to me now - #D7EDFC

That style makes me feel depressed every time I see it :s

The light blue lines here look nice, making them darker ruins the whole style imo.

PS: I see the signature line is made lighter, but it's much lighter now. Edit: it's the same color as the other dividers.

I didn't, Kier did.

Nope the post divider line is definitely darker than the sig divider line.

I am sure you have send some "CupCakes" or something to Kier

Not according to the CSS it isn't.

.messageList .message {
border-bottom:1px solid #D7EDFC;

.message .signature {
border-top:1px dashed #D7EDFC;

It's because one line is dashed and one is solid which is giving the illusion that they are different colours.

naw just did what any good woman does...............


.... planted the idea and shut up til he changed it, letting him think it was his idea, when in fact it was mine.
