Forum page width

Just a suggestion…

Is there a way to limit the width of GayDemon.biz. I’m on a 24" monitor and I find myself having to resize my IE window when reading posts with more than a few lines because I lose track of which line I am on. If you automatically limit the page width in Vbulletin it would make GD.biz a lot easier to read.

Just re-size IE browser window. OOPS!

Re: Forum page width

I do resize it for GD. But I like to keep it maximized for everything else.

Re: Forum page width

I know. i saw that while I was replying. It’s fluid with which does look tough on a 24 inch when maximized. I actually have a lot of problems reading fluid width for many sites when the text blocks are small.

Re: Forum page width

This just shows how screens are expanding in the wrong direction. It’s fine for videos but most of the web is about text and a tall narrow shape is right for that.

Re: Forum page width

Ok, i think ive sorted out something for you who like it to be a bit slimmer and not so wide.

If you look at the top right corner (to the right of the logo) you will see 2 options now.

Clicking on:

Wide
Flexible width, the forum changes size depending on your screen size / browser width.

Slim
The forum switches to fixed width of 940px wide.

Hope that helps, and let me know if it doesnt work properly. Also let me know if 940px is too wide!

Re: Forum page width

Works in Opera :slight_smile:

Re: Forum page width

Works in Firefox and it makes the board much more readable.

Thanks

You guys have sharp eyes! I’m on a 21" only, but either way, I go for the largest display I can get on the new firefox. Less words per line and larger fonts - am I showing my age now? :smiley:
