So, any more ideas about the layout?

In the profile I can just do something straightforward like this...



But I dunno what to do with the postbit to make everyone happy.

Yeah, I'll definitely add the title attribute to the images.

Those are awesome, and it looks like they shall work nicely.

Yeah definitely use the famfamfam icons, even has the Welsh flag

If its in the profile, I wouldn't mind it. Wouldn't want it along side my posts though. For one, that would mean more images to load for dial up users not that the files would be big. And there are a few more reasons which I don't care to get into.
I'd love it for the profile though

Dial-up users should be able to set in the user cp not to download them, although they aren't that big.

Cool, but it can do without País/Country. Just centered there will do, would look loads better imo. It kinda looks out of place with the text infront, if you get what i mean.

Yeah that would look good I think.

I like it

Why not get rid of the stars, they are a bit redundant if you ask me, since most of the regulars have 5 stars already. Then you have quite a bit more space.

Also, you could get rid of the Joined bit, which is even more useless if you ask me.

And then have the flag on the same line as the Age and Sex.

I think I could get used to that personally.  And I fully agree with losing the stars in favour of the flag, it would tell me more about the person.  And I should be able to have a rough guess at how long someone has been on the boards based upon how much I have seen them anyway (or their post count).  The only trouble is when it comes to new people.... but from previous experience, they rarely listen to the knowledgeable members and just go for the short posts anyway so it wouldn't really matter....
