[wp-pro] CSS Issue: Image Alignment/Text formatting

[Super Ann]

I think we could likely continue to talk circles around this  
indefinitely amongst ourselves. A solution -- whether we all agree  
with it or not -- would probably have to come from a mediator, which  
should probably be Automattic (or a representative) as they do own  
the list. If they make the decision to convert wp-pro from a mailing  
list into a BuddyPress Pro community, THEN we can all make our own  
decisions on whether or not we'd like to continue (or start)  
participating.

It's not currently clear to me whether they will be doing anything  
about this just yet. Moreover, I don't think this forum is  
necessarily actively moderated by them. (If I am wrong about this,  
Jane, please let me know!)

However, if we consider the possibility that Automattic may not want  
to do anything with this list right now, then we need to find out if:

1. a MAJORITY of the users on this list see some enhancements to this  
forum as necessary.

I have absolutely no idea how many people are on this list, and I  
likewise have no idea how useful people think this list is. Since  
Automattic owns PollDaddy, maybe we should ask them if they might run  
a simple poll there just to answer the question of whether the  
majority of people on this list are happy with this list as is... or  
not.

If the majority of users are happy with this list, then I guess we  
should just let this list be what it is.

If, however, there is still a significant portion of people on this  
list that does want to consider a better alternative "wp-pro" forum,  
then this faction should collectively consider starting a new forum  
for this discussion so that the current satisfied majority of list  
users aren't bothered by talk about changing something that they  
don't want changed.

I would be interested in the alternative. Personally this current  
mailing list form hasn't done much for me as I actually subscribed  
here not too long ago because I was just trying to subscribe to  
everything WP and thought it might be for professionals/developers to  
hold discussions. It turns out that this is more of a small jobs  
board. It's still possible that a jobs board would be useful to me,  
but I'd think that a mailing list generally isn't the best format for  
a job board (although IMO email notification could be a component of  
it). I think it would be kind of cool and likely useful to more  
people if something better were in place. It would be great to  
organize the ideas that everyone might have for a better wp-pro  
forum, and propose a solution to Automattic. If we have both a  
substantial support base and a good solution, then Automattic would  
more likely be interested in it.
