Hi, I have the impression the design changed to the worse.

When I revisit a post of mine I see the the <h3>Edit the node</h3> headline for updating close right after my posting (here the signature) and only after a huge gap the input field for 'Title:'.

This really confused me to the point that I believed <h3>Edit the node</h3> belongs to the text I posted.

Was it always like that or did something change?

Copying the html:

..........................End of Post .....................

Edit the node



Title:
[Input Field]

</p><p></p> <p></p> <p></p><h3>Edit the node</h3><br><br>Title:<br> '[Input Field]'

probably someone changed the CSS for <p> ? Did we have this headline before?

    The only change was the addition of this:

    <h3>Edit the node</h3>

    Since folks seem not to like it, I have removed it again. Thank you for the feedback!

    I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.
      For completeness.

      > Since folks seem not to like it,

      what they didn't like was the confusion where the post ends.

      As I said, using a separating <hr> or placing the <h3> after the <br>s would help.

      A CSS class for the edit area (if possible) too, like this another bgcolor could be chosen.

      YMMV and I don't think styling is crucial ATM :)

    Hi,

    I remember it being different. Compare to this for replying to a node , it has HR tag

    <hr> <div class="editnodetext"> <p><i>In reply to</i> <b><a href="?node_id=1157372">Style change for " +Edit the Node" headline?</a></b> <i>by</i> <b><a href="?node_id=708738">LanX</a></b> </p>

    :)

      Thanks.

      I'm even not sure if we ever had an "Edit the Node" headline before at that place.

      Cheers Rolf

    Yeah, scared me when i first saw it. I don't like it at all; it seems so out of place.
