  • Please, fixed width!

    Okay, so most of you probably wont notice this as being annoying but trust me, it is.

    This is what i see when i view the forum
    http://www.evilbrie.co.uk/hilux/res.jpg (high res)


    as you can see its a little less than easy viewing. It isnt a lot of delicate coding to fix the width to pixels and not percent, all that needs to be done is http://www.evilbrie.co.uk/hilux/width.jpg or change it in the main css or whatever the nuke equivilant you use is.
    Always pixels, never percent, percent makes things look 'odd' as size becomes relative to resolution and not how you want it to look, your front page to me looks like
    http://www.evilbrie.co.uk/hilux/frontpage.jpg
    which looks daft. The banner doesnt fit and most of the screen is taken up by empty cell space, fixed width would prevent this and make the page fit the banner for all viewers.
    Obviously sites arent written to suit larger resolutions but simple changes can help those of us running at high res see the site as intended and not as a stretched out mess.

    Just a thought for when someones bored

    How do you get it looking like that?
    I much prefer how it normally looks.
    Gone from 4x4 to 1x2

          That's the point. It doesn't scale well when you use decent resolutions.

              It would be the web designers dream to make the world change to suite the site but the world sucks
              Essentially on any widescreen monitor or monitor above 19" it will noticabley distort the site, my native res isnt normal but an extreme example of what happens without fixed width. Design choices also increase with fixed width as you add corner pics to the table and make everything nice 'n' smooth.
              Really you shouldnt have to make adjustments to your computer to view any of the billions of web pages available.
              The small change from percent to pixels solves the problem and makes the site more friendly to more users

                hmmm....i'm sure Koi didnt do it deliberately to hack you off and its just the default in the forum package make your concerns known to him. I adjust to my preference when jumping between different monitors/machines.......

                  No, I'm pretty sure it's a targeted attack on people with high res displays.

                  Actually, I've just noticed it doesn't fit perfectly on my screen.

                  Why me???? What did I do???
