New Person Page Format: Inconsistent Columns In Vitals and Events

Leroy Roberts

In the "Vitals" section, the two columns are read from left to right. In the "Events" section, the two columns are read from left column down and then right column down. I tried the option to display a single column (like the old format), but there is too much scrolling.

This was brought up several months ago in the New Person Page group, and it appears that while the "zig-zag" arrangement works in the Vitals section, since the six items pair up nicely, people overwhelmingly prefer the "newspaper" arrangement for the much-more-variable Other Information section.

Or to put it another way, you could equally read the Vitals box newspaper-fashion, and it wouldn't be jarring or confusing: name, birth, death; sex, christening, burial. Do the same thing with an Other Information section arranged in a zig-zag, and you'll throw up your hands in frustration.

There are many sections or compartments in the Community. The New Person Page group is the specific section for discussion of concerns about the New Person page.
