Suggestion: Reduce white space between messages.

[bazbt3]

Could you please consider reducing the amount of white space, initially between messages, maybe elsewhere later?

Why? On a 1900 x 1200 (24"/61cm) display with default browser zoom there are:

• Only 6 rows visible when arriving at the page (i.e. with the post dialogue visible.)
• A maximum of around 8.5 rows scrolled down the list.

(FYI my 14" laptop at home though has half the totals.)

This may have 2 positive benefits:

1. More posts onscreen.
2. It may be better to visually indicate a difference between JVI Alpha and ADN Alpha - e.g. to ensure that editing account info is seen to be done in a separate site.

Suggestions:

• Compress the space between window title and post dialogue.
• Compress the space both sides of the lines dividing posts.
• The post status line is currently always below the avatar, even for a single-line post (may require lots work to achieve minimal benefits.)

Thanks for reading!

Hey @bazbt3. Can you explain "The post status line is currently always below the avatar, even for a single-line post (may require lots work to achieve minimal benefits.)"? The post status line is the "2w - Reply via AlphaRevive_Local" thing (as shown below)?

Hiya!

You're exactly right - and I consider it a massive waste. It's 'clean' alright but trying to achieve a uniform row height is a bit daft when you consider most people have to scroll ridiculous numbers of messages daily.

The minimal benefits/work tradeoff refers to my relative lack of experience with CSS/modern screen layout tools. ;)

Now, was I right to raise the issue at GitHub or would you have preferred email?

Barrie,

I get what you mean now and will have a look to see what I can do.

Cheers.

Hmmm… my replying via email seems to have cluttered up the comments, sorry. Trying CodeHub on iPhone now.

Thanks for taking this seriously. :)

Worked well for me ;P

I'm just very good at pretending to take you seriously! ;)

If it breaks or others complain, don't come running to me or point fingers. If it's universally approved then yeah, you can have more things to do. :)

could you make that a new issue please? cheers Baz
