Development blog / Re: Now with 97% more visuals!

Would you guys consider some options in admin area for making thread view a little bit lighter weight?
I am not about the idea that every reply does have to contain header (it is the name of the thread in 99%) and also I personaly prefer shorter "profile" area on the left side of each post. Think it improve readability and reduce (at least my) frustration when reading discussion of one sentence replies 300px at height each because I need to be told which size of shoes the authors wear.

Thanks for your replies.

I understand your points but think that some of them are just a matters of setting or fine-tuning the system.

Problem is that I would like to give my users some hint on which posts are valuable because when they are new to the board they usually can not distinguish good and bad info (not talking about opinions). As I think over your posts I would like to ask if you think that this should be solved otherwise (member groups...) or that like/dislike would help in this case.

Hello guys,
just when started to accept the annoyance of themes/languages/mods mess in smf I discovered your project.
I had already started to thing about custom mod for smf regarding karma so I just would like to share my thoughts. I am rather a proponent of karma system for certain topics insted of simple like/dislike democracy.

Ideal karma/post popularity system would IMO have these features:
- input is just by post voting (no buddy/ignore at user level)
- users karma is made according to their posts popularity, activity in forum (post count), date of registration
- user vote for post is weighted by their karma and average vote given by themselves
- post look would be deterined by their popularity (treshold for smaller font, less contrast text/background)

Question is how to manage the circular dependency in user karma/post popularity. Two extremal solutions would be complete instant recalculation (guess would be terribly resources intensive) or not to recalculate historical values.

I would love to hear your opinions either for cultivating thoughts about such system for myself or for discussion if it should be implemented in wedge or as a mod.
