I'm not seeing member's location with the new upgrade. Kinda miss that for finding people close by as well as helping figure out when people are talking about things that don't nesecarily apply to things here in the US.
What happened to Members Location?

You have to click on the member's avatar which will then pop up a window with the member's information.
I agree it was more convenient, Maybe a hover over avatar would be better as well as a click on avatar to display this info.
There are a few things being discussed regarding the postbit (the area where your avatar and username are displayed). Personally, I'd like to see post count and location return, but I make no guarantees...
I would like to see those features returned as well.
Also, is it just me, or does it seem odd that usernames are not up on top in the postbit? Photo> Mood> Username.
It's just you...although if you haven't used a forum with XenForo before, I could understand how it might initially be a bit confusing...here's a tip: look down

HaHa, yes, this is my first experience with X.F.
I am an old dog... not too swift with new tricks, lol.
I, too miss the location and number of posts being shown; it's pretty important, in many cases, when you're trying to figure out how to answer a question. For someone with 3 posts, my answer would probably be totally different than for someone with 300.
Yeah... Me too.
It's not only odd--it's also poor design. Everybody knows that the reader's eye always goes first to the upper left corner of the page/box/post. That's just basic psychology 101. That's where the most relevant information should be located. What we have now is a picture (or an empty square with a faint ECF logo) that tells us nothing, than a mood (or lack thereof) that gives us irrelevant information, and only then user's handle and title. One has to look for that information instead of getting it right away.
10 Useful Findings About How People View Websites
"Eyetracking and research have studied how people look at websites. Here are 10 useful findings you can use.
1. Top left corner gets the attention first
When users land on your site, their eye path starts from the upper left corner, and moves on from there."
I believe that it refers to reading in general. It was ingrained in all of us right after our ABC's to read and write from left to right/top to bottom.
I don't think these instilled visual patterns break regardless if we are reading a website, new paper, magazine, or forum post.
When reading is involved it is the equivalent of visual jump rope.
Just my $0.02
Seems like it adding a Members Location and Join Date would not Impact forum performance.
But I could be Wrong.
