Is someone experimenting with HTML again?

Some swapped the order of sections in an Image's sidebar. Now I'm getting thrown off.

Before it was;
#Image Details
#View Count
#Upload Date
#Entry
#Notes
#Tags
And the rest

Now it's
#Image Details
#View Count
#Upload Date
#Entry
#Tags
#Notes
And the rest.

What's going on?

Edit:
Damn, misspelled the title.

Fixed the title. From what I can gather, our site coder James is trying out some different layouts, to see what works. Dunno how long it'll be going on for, but it should keep changing around

If that's the case, isn't it smarter to test it on an offline version of the site and the make it live once a good layout is found?

Maybe they wanted feedback. Who knows.

On the subject of sidebars, I suggest that in image pages, the Notes should be right next to the tags. Looks weird with the image uploader being in between them.

Can I ask the admins why are the HTML and BBCode embeds gone now? I really don't understand why would you straight remove these sections (especially the HTML one, which seems to be used as much or even more than the textile one).

I always use the html code for entry writing. Quick and easy.

We also removed BBCode in the past once, and that one was met with a good amount of backlash that we readded it.

So why remove it again? Bring it back pls.

Why do you use html for entries? It's longer than textile and there's also no need to turn KYM images into links because they automatically link to the image pages. What you see in that textile embed is all you need for writing entries.

The size of the code shouldn't be an issue though when you just hit ctrl- + ctrl-v. When typing, yeah I use textile for stuff like hyperlinking, same for images in comments cus I don't care there.

Convience and old habbits die hard mostly. The auto-hyperlinking of images wasn't the case in the past, and I was more familiar with the html when it comes to size adjusting. Size adjusting is important when writing entries, but I can get used to textile there, no biggy.

!{height: 250px}https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/170/382/573.jpg!

The size needs a unit because it adds to the style attribute instead of adding to the height or width attributes.

I know how to resize in textile too no worry lol. Like I said, it was mostly an old habit there because prior to the auto-linking I just used the html code we gave as it was quicker to copy-paste.

If anything, a more important argument for the html and BBCode addition is off-site linking by viewers.

I kinda agree with Bun Lord on this one. I sometimes embed images from KYM to sites that don't use Textile, so the old source fields would be a welcome return.

And I'm surprised this thread's still kicking.
