B, previously right, because the separation between each post is better. In the left one, now A, the extra line with edit options visually divides the content, so one post almost appears like two when quickly scanning the page.

For B, I would experiment with adding the separator at the top of the first comment as well.
You could also experiment with putting the actions line under the title. You could gain some space.

Also, this is what everybody complains about. Could the right column be skinnier? 1/4th of the page instead of 1/3rd?

I find the most recent posts interesting, but I think most people are either interested in gardening or home improvement, so having two separate boxes for the two, may generate more hits for you. You could place one on top of the other based on what the current forum type is, gardening, or home.

Bona sonic mop? Which cordless vacume do you like most?
Q
Comments (6)
I wanted to start a thread about cordless vacs. I have 3: Dirt Devil Quick Power -- useless on hard floors Shark cordless sweeper -- not good on hard floors, can pick large debris off the surface of carpet. Swiffer Vac -- OK. Works well enough to actually use, at least for my small kitchen. Suction is not good enough to quickly pick up the large pieces of grass and debris my dogs track in. I do use it to vacuum the kitchen every day; it's faster and cleans better than sweeping, and I don't want to haul out my whole canister vacuum. HOWEVER, its negatives: - I think it's a pain to clean the filter, clean out the cup, and get it back on the unit. I've gotten the hang of it now, so it's not so bad. - As I mentioned above, suction not powerful enough to pick up larger debris. - Battery lasts only a year or two, then only gives you a minute or two of charge. So, when I put hard flooring throughout the whole house, the Swiffer Vac isn't going to do it for me. The suction won't be powerful enough to pick up the pieces of grass and debris, the dust cup is way too small, and the filter needs cleaning too frequently. Therefore, I am considering - Dyson DC35, - Hoover Linx, and - Roomba I think I'd like to get whichever works better the Dyson or the Hoover Linx, plus the Roomba. Has anyone used BOTH the Dyson and Hoover Linx?

Which household chore do you hate the most?
Q
Comments (38)
I don't like any of it but if budgeting and paying bills is a household chore I actually do like doing that. I think of household chores as cleaning. I pay someone to do just about everything at home - not laundry. DH and I both do laundry and I don't mind that. I rarely iron anything. We have a weekend lake place and I do all my own house work there - where I happen to be on "vacation" this week. I've spent nearly two full days doing all that stuff I despise. Vacuuming, dusting, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning carpet stains, washing windows, plus grocery shopping for holiday entertaining, laundry and some yard work. At least I'm getting some exercise plus I get to do it in a great setting. And I'm all done now except for cooking and entertaining guests and I like that part.

which lights do you dim the most in your kitchen?
Q
Comments (22)
We put our 7 halogen can lights onto 2 switches. 3 lights are the lights we use most--one can in the center of the work area and 1 can at each end of the pathway through the kitchen. I like having these on dimmers. There are times of day when full light seems too harsh (just as it's getting light in the morning and at dusk.) The other light we have on a dimmer is the hanging 3-light fixture (pool table style) over the peninsula prep zone. I often use the dimmer because the fixture is fairly low and can seem too glaring in my eyes. But I haven't been dimming this fixture lately because we've been replacing the incandescents with cfl's---hope to get dimmable cfl's down the road. My preference is to have it dimmable but it's not horrible in a non-dimmable state. We rarely use the second batch of 4 can lights that are spaced over the perimeter counters but when we do it's because we need lots of light so we would never dim them. I rarely dim the pendants over our sinks because they're only on when I'm washing or prepping veggies and I want the light. We have undercabinet lights that have a low/high switch (as do our hood lights) but I very rarely use the uc lights (maybe 10 times in the last 3 1/2 years.)

Which rose class do you have the most of?
Q
Comments (16)
My rose list (badly) needs updating. At a guess I would say that my single biggest group are the Gallicas, possibly followed by Teas. I haven't got my ground in good enough shape for the latter to do well, but the once-blooming old roses of European origin are the best suited to our conditions, and of those the Gallicas are the largest class. So I have a lot of once-blooming old roses (Gallicas, Damasks, Albas, Centifolias, Mosses), which I love and which do well here, a lot of Teas and also Chinas, which I'm working to make the environment friendlier for, mainly lightening the soil. Quite a few ramblers, Multiflora, Wichuriana, species and hybrids, Noisettes, Lady Banks roses. A few 'Mlle. Cecile Brunner'-type old Polyanthas, a few Foetidas, and I wish I had more of both. Rugosas don't like it here, and I have my doubts about Spinosissimas; few HTs, no Floribundas, not because I reject them out of hand, but because I think conditions here aren't ready for them. Oh, I forgot: Bourbons, Hybrid Perpetuals, Hybrid Damasks. I have a few of the first, more of the second, and I like the HDs. These are heterogenous groups I don't know that much about, but there are some I like and I'm trying to figure out which ones. I have many of the Pemberton Hybrid Musks, which I love but don't grow well, and a few shrub roses, a group I don't know much about and haven't seen much of that was inspiring. Oh: practically no Austins. They're beautiful roses but it's too rough here for them.

Definitely B. This new format is terrible. It is confusing. Each posting looks like more than one posting.

I agree with everyone that B is better. It is clearer and visually flows from the tile, poster, and contents without a break. The A version has that break with the "clippings,..." and it is visually stopping the reader. But I like how the "clipping, edit" etc is in its own space, I just don't like it were it is.

I don't mind the width of the side bar on the right. I like the width of the post, it makes it easy for my eye to track across the lines. Any further and I have trouble finding my next line as I read down.
