Hopefully I'll get used to it if Jeremy keeps the forum with the black frame on the left.  For today it's driving me crazy.  

Not that I'm trying to force change or anything (honest!), but I am curious.

Is it just me, or do others prefer the black pane on the right when reading a forum thread?

Putting it on the left makes sense, since English reads from left to right. Will help drive traffic to those articles. That said, I don't really care.

But having the text of the forums start in the center of the page and run to the right is very awkward to read.   I find I'm keeping my head turned to the right constantly as I read an type.   I wan the forum text to be close to centered on the page.

On the main page with the list of topics I have no problem with the pane being on the left, but in the actual thread, I'd much prefer it on the right.

i don't know if i'm an outlier here but i only go to the main page for news when jeremy posts a thread with a link. i imagine most forum posters are the same, and that a huge percentage of the traffic to that page is driven by google searches from people who don't post on the forum.

the magisteria overlap but i can't imagine new placement will drive a significant amount of new traffic from the forum user demographic, not enough to make it worth the mass adjustment

right, this is key for me. standard web browsing experience mimics thousands of years of reading texts in the west: your eye is trained to drop down to the left margin and read right across the page. arbitrary or not (it is) it's how reading is ingrained in the western world and it's a major visual and ergonomic disruption to start in the center of a page. imho it is also aesthetically unpleasing for this reason.

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
