New Comments Look for Your Profile Discussion.

[Patflute]

If you go onto your profile you will see that the comment area is different.

Discuss.

They're a tad too big imo, but I think they complement the profile better and I don't have a problem with them.

Not a fan of it, the text is quite oversized relative to the rest of the profile. It appears as though it's designed to take your eyes away from the actual profile content itself.

The font of what you type makes it look quite clunky.

here's what i posted on the previous thread:


i liked the looks of the comments before - it was nice 'n' clean, but now it's big/chunky, and there is no "view all comments" option now? - is it just me, or are pages a pain

i do like, however, that we'll be notified of comments on screenshots, and the "delete" option is not in the "whoops i clicked there" zone anymore

it would be neat if we had the option to edit comments we've posted

also, a "next" button would be nice for the screenshots - like a left and right one, instead of the "next" page of 12 screenshots - why do people need to see 12 little screenshots there - if they're gonna pick and choose screenshots, they might as well click on "view entire library" cuz you can see more, and they're bigger

Looks like they did just add in the "view all" comments feature again, just in a different place (above the comment box).

I'm not a fan of the new design:

• The text is a different font style and size than found elsewhere in the profile. Why is it no longer consistent?
  
  
• The date/time stamp on the posts can no longer be used accurately. Instead of the old system, i.e. "April 09, 2012 @ 8:45pm" more or less, new comments use a terribly vague "Just now", "1 hour ago", etc, system.
  
  
• Is it really necessary to show who is a friend and who isn't? Adding those icons puts the commentators avatar out of line with the avatars from those who already commented. For example:
  
  http://i40.tinypic.com/w9wx3s.jpg
  
  This makes it the profile look bulky.
  
  A better system, I think, would be one where the friends icon would only show when the mouse hovers over each individual comment, similar to the delete button.
  
  This would allow for some options, too, regarding changes to the icon. If it's kept the same then the comment could shift over to the right to make room. A better idea, though, would be to simply replace the commentator's avatar with the friend icon or, best yet, add a smaller, thumbnail icon inside the avatar picture.

Give them some time. They're obviously slowly adapting everything to the look & feel of the Steam Workshop, especially with all the pagination and stuff. Groups and recommendations will probably follow soon.

Even then it would be out of line because the commentator's avatar doesn't have the online/offline/ingame-border around it and then it would look even more like someone screwed up while coding the layout.

.commentthread_comment_friendindicator {
	position: absolute;
	left: 0px;
	top: -3px;
	background-image: url( http://cdn.steamcommunity.com/public/images/skin_1/comment_friendindicator.png );
	width: 39px;
	height: 46px;
        visibility: hidden;
}
.commentthread_comment:hover .commentthread_comment_friendindicator {
	visibility: visible;
}

There you go my friend. This code makes the friend icon only vissible if you hover over a comment (the entire comment, not only the avatar).
Use Stylish or some extension in your browser to apply it.

However, note that this kinda defeats the purpose of this icon. If you're reading a comments page of some you didn't know you have friends in common. Anyway, use it if it floats your boat xD

It reverts back to the old system after 24 hours or so.

Hence the "new comments use a terribly vague "Just now", "1 hour ago", etc, system." but I understand the confusion as "new" could have been seen referring to either the new system in general or the specific comments as they're posted.

[gh0stf00t]

This is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. It looks ugly, and disorganized. Change this back now. I literally want to puke when I look at the new comment page. Gag.

I prefer the old way, it was more clean and readable.

I'm not a fan of the friends icon to the left of the avatars. Otherwise, I don't mind it.
