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.

Appreciated. I get kbin doesn't want to reddit clone, but this is a change I can get behind.

Along with moving the response box above the list of replies instead of at the bottom.

yeah, but there's no need to reinvent the wheel. it's like if some car manufacturer would put triangular wheels on their car just because everybody is using round ones. classic case of kust because you are unique doesn't mean you are useful ;)

Well some people do, in fairness, want things to be not the same. Thankfully given the platform it shouldn't be too much (for those that know what the hell they're doing) to offer up tweaks to cater to the oddballs.
