Avatar Position

My vote would be for avatars on the left: it's a confusing cultural shift to have to start reading a post from right to left in order to identify the author.

But SJ, didn't you state in a previous post that all kinds of IT-type complications might arise from making this (to me, at least) perfectly logical change?

If it's only a matter of one click... on the left better.

Thank you for everything you're doing here, SJ.

Hooray! My brain doesn't hurt any more.

You did it! THe one click worked... and my avatar looks much better on the left

...I like them on the left

OK.....but how do you feel about avatars?

having avatars on the left is much more natural that on the right side
i like it

I like it this way too

Everything's cool bananas Spag Bol, and I'm precinct14 again. You've done a top job.

all is well that ends well

...allow me to rephrase, my dear: I like my avatars, on the page, on the left.

Isn't that a prescribed quote from the medicine cabinet of one Doctor Theophylius Emu Watson?

It was most certainly not him. It is commonly attributed to Shakespeare in his play of the same name written in 1601 . However it was used in 1546 in a poem by John Heywood . However it is believed to even predate that and was in use as a probverb prior to that.

Glad that I waited. I wanted to say something very similar, but you've put it much better than I would have.

It just had that flavour of emu wisom...

pulling my plonker

anyway, i have never heard of a plonker, but who knows, it might be fun.

It actually means a certain part of the male anatomy that ladies do not have.
In more recent times it has evolved to mean a stupid person or possibly dick head

Sorry fixed . It is just that all my life people have preferred emu to me.
Can you please delete the second of those 2 posts ? I was not allowed to delete as it had been replied to

Thanks for putting me straight on that. 'A tree is a tree is a tree' is one of yours though, isn't it?

funny that, my last post on the old ATU was to comment on a post i had made that had been changed.
words had been added, and it was quite clear when and where they had come from.


not to worry, i'm sure it will all happen again, if we wait.

Thank SJ

^ Doesn't it just! There was a recent classic on the sadly departed ATU which was about 6 quotes deep. I commented on it. Not that anyone cared

I say anyone quoting more than 5 quotes deep should be banned. And - erm, ostracised, and - erm, well ...

felix,
i cared.

then it all went haywire and i forgot.
