Greetings Orbinauts!

We've implemented a slight change to the look of the postbit for some threads on the forum. The postbit is the area to the left side of all your posts on the forum which contains your username, usertitle, ranks, avatar, post count, etc. See example below:

Standard postbit from our lovely mod Krys


The new postbit is trimmed up and moved to the top right to give it a cleaner, article type of look for specific threads based on thread prefixes. Only the first post in the thread uses the new postbit layout, otherwise everything else looks and functions just the same. Take a look at the post you're reading right now for an example. Over on the right side you will see the username along with links to post a comment, subscribe to the thread, etc.

Currently the forums and prefixes with this option are as follows:

Forum: Announcements
Prefixes: Announcement, News, New Feature

Forum: Tutorials & Challenges
Prefixes: Tutorial, Challenge

Forum: Orbiter Visualization Project
Prefixes: New Release, BETA Release

Forum: Orbithangar Addons & Comments
Prefixes: OHM

Forum: Addons
Prefixes: New Release, News

Forum: Addon Development
Prefixes: Project

Forum: Off-Topic
Prefixes: News

Forum: Space Flight News
Prefixes: Launch News, News, Updates


If you have any suggestions for anything we might have missed, just let us know. You will notice that prefixes currently used are all news / new release related. In addition if you have ideas for thread prefixes for any forum, please feel free to suggest them anytime!

:cheers:

Very nice. This looks much more formal and professional.

How about Off-Topic > [News] threads?

Thanks, I thought about that as long as more than just a link is posted.
