about the new Search Stream display format

[Chris Bell]

further more i think timeline in streams should be an on/off feature,
with bit more modularity (on/off switches built-in) i think streams can be further enhanced;
preserving its basic functionality while allowing for more creative outlets to be expressed with streams,

back on that topic in 4.1.9 now,
i like the new top control panel; i cant understand though why it needs to travel with the page as we scroll down,
nor why it need to take real estate from search results area; if anything once options are set it should be collapsible,

I'm still using the color "hack" suggested few posts back to get rid of the timeline; which i still find confusing and pointless,

i can't understand why in the world we need an additional tag and space used in between search results...
just to remind us its from today or yesterday; when its arranged by last comment anyway!?
if anything i think that should be optional; as many of the other theme element "enforced" like timeline schema for example,

i find last commenter image on the left side next to the topic very distracting and confusing,
topic title and topic starter image are a logical Que that is now very obviously missing, 
last commenter image should be included but not on the left next to the topic title imo,

TIA

Chris,
