Better than your previous one, that's for sure. I'd always consider it a bad sign if a user's "layout" contains more words than their average post...

You could do away with the "Layout created by:"; it's obnoxious and it's not like anyone would else be inclined to assume otherwise. Also, having 3D table borders is very much 90s style and you should look into making your layout fill the whole post area.

What in the ugly mother of Satan is that abomination and why is it blacking out your sidebar.

At least it's not an atrocious monstrosity such as certain OTHER people have managed to construct...

Also, it is a scrolling layout! Oh my God. I wish this board supported per-user layout blocking. Scrolling layouts should never, ever be used. Actually, the board should filter those out in a harsh way.

For example, what more frustrating for an user than trying to watch a large image enclosed in a layout scrolling box that is significantly smaller than the image?

Remove that scrolling, let the box fill the whole post table, and replace opacity with a rgba() color or a transparent PNG as a background, and it'll be acceptable.

Not quite, the background is bleeding out of the post table on both sides.

Aside from that, nice layout.

Oh, Kawa changed his username! j/k

You should customize it more. Changing the image on the right was a good thing to do, but you might want to also change the border colors, the sig, and whatever you want, to match your tastes, and then I guess it will look nice.

I've seen your other posts... Your layout stretches the box pretty far on its own.

I'd say tone down the header and footer line breaks a bit. Remember, the editprofile.php header and footer blocks count line breaks from the enter key as < br/>s.

Trelior: I made it a bit smaller.

Do you think it looks better now, or do you think it could be a little bit smaller than this?

Treledit: Spell my name right, please.

It's still ridiculously large.
It almost takes up the entire vertical screen space on a 1024x768 resolution.

Nikolaj: I made it another 100px smaller.

Any specific pixel height that you would suggest?

You should make it ~180px.

Okay, it's at exactly 180px now.

It will only get bigger if the post is long enough to stretch it.

It stretches horizontally pretty bad. The image is way too wide. If you're using a CSS style sheet, set the background-image element on your background div/table as your planet image.

That's what I did with my background.

Also, please nuke the quote in your signature... It's obnoxiously large, at least on my column-view DSi browser.

General rule of thumb: If your signature is longer than the content of your average post, it's too long.

Okay, my signature is now probably several words shorter than my average post.

Not sure what you were meaning with the width... since you were talking about the DSi I just made it 100% so that it will fit any screen and won't expand the page.
Hopefully, that makes it work.

Is it about fixed now?

Your layout is better now that it doesn't make the page width explode.

The signature's not as bad as it was, but it's still pretty big. I would say that as far as having words in your signature with a layout, try not to let it take more than three or four lines, like Kawa's layout.
