UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums General Suggestions and Feedback Search box

I was over at dev and noticed the search island and looked a bit weird to me. I cant say I like how the button are stacked on top of each other, just doesn't look clean to me. I am use to the go button next to the text box. I think it looks nicer the old way, or actually to be easier on the portal boxes so they don't get stretched is to have the go and advanced on the same line. If that was done centering the whole box so the buttons line up under the text box in my opinion would look much cleaner and better than the old way :dunno:

I agree completely!

When I gave SD the sugguestion to modify the portal box, I expected it to be modiied to match the Shout Box:
1. The cell centered.
2. A line break after the input box, so the buttons are on their own line.

You know, conformity, and it looks easy on the eyes...

Instead, he made it match the search dropdown box, and it looks completely weird with buttons on separate lines in the portal island...

My recommendation:
Change it to:
1. Add an align="center" to the cell with the portal data.
2. Remove the extra <br/> from after the first button so the buttons are on their own line.

Trust me, it looks good, and much better than it is now... And conforms to how we already do buttons in the portal (IE shoutbox)

I agree, especially for those who have the search island stacked on top or below the shout box. They should look the same as it would def look cleaner and more constant.
