Whitespace Trimmer?
< on 6/4/2004 4:35 PM >
Posted on Forum: UER Forum
 
While composing posts (especially those with pictures) I often use the Preview! feature repeatedly. As a result my posts often wind up having a few extraneous carriage returns at the bottom. Naturally, I forget to clean them up before clicking Post. I'm hesitant to edit these posts afterwards, but I don't like the wasted vertical space this causes.

Next time you're dabbling in the code Av, would you mind adding a couple of lines to trim this stuff out? The forum pages are so eye pleasing, it makes me cringe a bit whenever I see the layout messed up by spastics like me.

Respectfully,

Nirv (Phew! Got one right for a change! )

bah. i tried to harass av to get him to actually put space there at the end of the post because i don't like how the signature rides on the ass of the paragraph you just wrote. I like my space. I don't like signatures caving in on my post it makes me claustrophobic. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

THD, you can have my spare carriage returns anyday. You're hot!

I see your point actually. Perhaps standardizing on one blank line at the end of each post might be most eye pleasing? Like this?

[Edit: Oops! Looks like a non-issue unless you type enough text to extend your post beyond the bottom of your avatar, so I must blather on some more. Perhaps I should start one of those useless poll threads on the issue, setting a new low in the triviality department?]

[Edit 2: Shit! It doesn't work if you've edited your post. Screw this issue. I've gotta get to work.]

[Edit 3: Whatever. Some day I'll learn to actually think before I click Post.]

Is somebody out there intentionally trying to annoy me? Since the introduction of the larger avatars, I'm seeing three or four blank lines at the end of pretty much every post. Whatever it is you did Av, it looks kinda fucked up.

Can't say I like the bigger pictures that much either. Short posts (less than 4 or 5 lines, and there are a lot of them) have a left part way taller than the right, producing even more of that evil whitespace.

I must have done something very bad to deserve this...

The spacing is fine, its easier on the eyes to have the posts nice and spaced out, rather than crowded together in a page of solid text.

For example, I find the UER GUI much easier on the eye than the Infiltration GUI, personally I think it is largly due to the spacing.

See for yourself, this thread in the Infiltration GUI.
