Take a look at this thread and see all the space wasted in the left colum when it's a long message. Perhaps it's the 'side' layout we should be considering getting rid of!
That's exactly what I mean Eileen. Thanks for illustrating what I was trying to say. In an earlier thread, it was pointed out that a majority of people were using the side option for displaying user info. The problem is that no-one tried to get to the bottom of why people were not using the top display. I believe the reason people don't use the top display as much is because it is, if anything, even more obtrusive than the side display.
I feel that, if we were to have the option of a simple "bottom of message" user display option, together with or followed by simple navigation/Post Options, many more users would use this simple "bottom display," than the current side display.
