Little tweak for a better looking forum

I will start out by saying the new software is great, much more streamlined and faster.

However the professionalism of the appearance of the software has taken some what of a hit.

Now you have to install a hook to get a member's join date on the forum profile and everything seems so scattered and in disarray.

How hard would it be the forum profile back to better looking and more organized?

Yes I know this is a custom skin with the image and color, but this old photo is how a Forum Profile use to look and still should look today. I might be wrong, but I do not think it would hinder any operations of the new software and would make IPB software look more professional like it use to be.

I wouldn't class half of that as essential information, I mean, who really cares about what member no. someone is? The joined date is also viewable in the member profile area. I really don't see the need for it.

Just clutter in my eyes, but each to their own :)

I used to religiously skin them out after each upgrade back on the 2.x series, with the exception of post count.

As indicated though you can easily install a hook for it or I remember writing a couple of skin edit articles to add member number and / or joined date back to topic view.

I don't want this extra information on my forum, it would look far too busy and doesn't add any value to the content of the forum.

I'd rather this information be contained within the user profile where it currently resides.
