Make side by side layout optional [FEATURE REQUEST]

The recent change on the logbook entry page from log entry on top and log listing on bottom to log entry on left side and log listing on right side is not desirable for my display and logging process and makes it difficult to use this logger. I request that it be returned to the original top and bottom format or make a toggle for top-bottom format versus side-by-side format.

Hi @WA4IDS thanks for letting us know about this!

The main reason we introduced this change is that many users requested to be able to see the map and spots at the same time while logging.

In the future, we will make an update so you can choose which layout you want to use. But, there is a way to solve this today!

If you decrease the width of your browser window, it will revert back to the original format like this:

James,

Thanks so much for the reply. I like it side by side except it truncates the “edit” icon. With no slider, it makes it hard to go back and fix bad data entry in a log record. Using your suggestion, I will leave it side by side until I need to correct a record and then I will just narrow the browser window. Then I can put back when I’m done.

If you remember me, I was one of early birds that stopped at your booth at the Stone Mountain Hamfest; the one with the gray hair and beard. :slight_smile: I have been using WRL to log all of my POTA activations so I can make ADIF files to upload to the POTA site and to QRZ site.

Thanks again. I will be joining in the new year.

@WA4IDS I do remember you! Thanks so much for being an early adopter and for using us!!

Thanks to your suggestion, we just introduced a slider into the side bar as well, so this should help you get to the edit icon easier!
