    Given that there's two ways to display your posts, how do you handle your post flair?

    Originally, I built mine only to fit with the sidebar style posts, but then I switched forums styles and realized WOW that looks terrible when displayed at the top...

    How have your post flair adventures gone over the last few months or weeks?
     
    Top. It's harder to design flairs with both post styles in mind if you're using an actual background rather than a pattern or something, and I always prefer how postbits look with information at the top rather than side. Used to be mega into the legacy left side postbit, but now I don't like it at all anymore.
     
    In terms of information being laid out, I definitely prefer it to the side that way it's right there next to the username and avatar. However, I get that with the new UI live, people are using backgrounds that need the width so I can see why up top is the preferred style.

    However, that is why I think it's important to have both layouts in consideration, which is why I went with nothing more than a repeating background for my flair.
     
    I've always preferred top/standard for postbits on PC

    my flair is meant more for that than legacy, and so it kind of doesn't look good on legacy, but there's probably not much I can do about that without sacrificing the part I like about it best, which is the FE Awakening text boxes for the userstats

    edit: it's better now, thanks to Fairy =)

    I can probably fix that for ya, haha. Yours was one of the first flairs I ever designed and I had no idea what kind of length/width restrictions applied. But if you want I can make it better!

    As for myself, I use legacy but always make sure my personal flairs look good in both. ;)
     
    I don't have any background images or anything but my flair is less likely to blind you on legacy, which is what I use. If I went fancy I'd probably make it more for legacy because I'm old and like my info on the left.

    Hmm... might need to adjust the color, whoops.
     
    Would the side layout / Legacy work on mobile? I never had the initiative to change it, and I'm too lazy to try it on my laptop. I guess that means the top layout is my preference?
     
    What I have learned from this thread is that only me and one other person likes Legacy. sobs
     
    i don't even remember how to change to the legacy postbit, tbh, so yeah, I use top postbit.

    I don't think my postflair gif would look very good in legacy view anyway.
     
    which one's legacy? hahaha forgot about them but the flairs are at the side for me. it looks cleaner that way.

    In the new ui its only standard on mobile so you can change it for your computer and it'll still be standard on mobile if thats what youre worried about.

    Im ok with standard on mobile but idk standard on the computer literally hurts my eyes ://
     
    Depending on how large your phone is, if you flip it to landscape (from portrait), you could see the legacy postbit if it's set to that. :> Also viewing in desktop mode as well could trigger it on mobile
