Discussion Forum - Questions and Answers Grid row highlighting Related suggession
-
I'm very new to this forum/community. I'm really impressed with this forum. I have a suggestion to make. In the Discussion Forums under "Question & Answer -> Programming Discussion". The question and the relative replies are listed. Each replies should be displayed in alternating grid background should be really helpful. Because, when we view this discussion forum in a High resolution laptop monitors we are unable to see when is the post was posted and/ replied. Often, the date was mistaken either with the question post or with the next question/reply's date, due to the fact the question and the timestamp information are separated with long distance ends(question is at left most corner. The Time stamp information is at right most corner). It would be really helpful to have alternating grid background and/or while hovering on a question or a reply the row of the grid should get highlighted. I know this forum has many far more important features/tasks in queue. But, I felt this would be really helpful. Let me know if you want some more details.

IMO the author's name, the post time, the revision information, in fact all the metadata (amounting to 2 lines) that now sits under the Question/Answer/Tip/Alternate should be above the actual content, just as it is in forum messages and articles; that would make reading them easier. One shouldn't have to scroll down to go look for the metadata. The current rating also belongs on top (it is), whereas the voting tool itself belongs at the bottom (one only needs it after having read all of it). When laid out like that, there would be no need for alternating background colors. :)

You mentioned a case, that is applicable for expanded questions or replies alone., When in the case of no group being expanded is my question. I should have framed the question more clearly. My apologies. Thanks for the faster update.
