see attached image, but basically having the images on the right side makes it so hard to “read” a post with an image, going back and forth with your eyes to “get” the whole post. So much easier to just put the images between the up-/downvote buttons and the text post.
I don’t know if there’s a reason for that besides looking different from similar sites. If so, I don’t think this is the way, it really puts a strain on your eyes and our brain is not used to absorb information in this way.
So maybe we can rollback to the initial view ;) It should be in the settings, in my opinion.

I myself would love it, but yeah, having it in the settings would satisfy everyone, unless there’s someone making a point in having it in the middle :D
I’m curious, why did you change it?
@mpro When the section didn’t have a thumbnail, the title would shift to the left side, which required jumping with the eyes while scrolling. Now, as the site looks a bit better, I can insert some sort of placeholder there.
ah ok, yeah placeholder seems like the obvious simple solution to that
I think exposing various settings to control the position of thumbnail would be pretty handy eventually. Got to not go overboard on settings but giving some options should help users find a layout that works best for them :)
This is sometime I wanted to tackle since it looks like the layouts are CSS templates. But I’m still getting the project set up
