Answer by Monica Cellio for Live: Left nav, new theming and responsiveness

After I create a community event, I see this jumble of text:

The event view, which used to be multi-line, is now pushed into a table. That table must still fit within the (responsive) width of the pane. URLs are inherently long, and some event names are too. And the timing text is verbose. Result: lots of unfortunate line wrap (while there's extra room below), and the links are smooshed into the last column where they're harder to see.

For comparison, here is what this page looks like on a site with the old design:1

Here the table is replaced with rows of text. The event name is on a line by itself. The next line contains the URL. Below that are the date information and who created it. Below that are the links. The display actually takes a little less vertical space than the tabular view, in addition to being much easier to read.

Could we have the line-based layout instead of the table layout on this page?

This bug was also reported on the post about beta/unthemed sites, but it exists on other sites with the new design so I'm raising it here too.


1 The Workplace is the last site where (a) the new design hasn't been done yet and (b) I have a diamond so I could do this test.
