images on the left side would make kbin easier to read

see attached image, but basically having the images on the right side makes it so hard to "read" a post with an image, going back and forth with your eyes to "get" the whole post. So much easier to just put the images between the up-/downvote buttons and the text post.... #kbin #ui #images #kbinMeta

So maybe we can rollback to the initial view ;) It should be in the settings, in my opinion.

I myself would love it, but yeah, having it in the settings would satisfy everyone, unless there's someone making a point in having it in the middle :D
I'm curious, why did you change it?

@mpro When the section didn't have a thumbnail, the title would shift to the left side, which required jumping with the eyes while scrolling. Now, as the page looks a bit better, I can insert some sort of placeholder there.

ah ok, yeah placeholder seems like the obvious simple solution to that

I think exposing various settings to control the position of thumbnail would be pretty handy eventually. Got to not go overboard on settings but giving some options should help users find a layout that works best for them :)

This is sometime I wanted to tackle since it looks like the layouts are CSS templates. But I'm still getting the project set up
