Fixed width

[Chite5e]

Gave it a chance, disliked it.

On one of my PCs I had to side scroll to view threads...

I fear this may turn off the casual forum poster who expects a website to take up the entire screen.

It's only a fixed maximum width, there should never be a horizontal scroll unless an image or something is forcing a screen wider then the available width.

Decided to try it then forgot that I was using it! Might as well stick with it if it has that big an impact

Every thread I clicked on I had to horizontal scroll.

full width > fixed width

What monitor resolution are you running at (or if the browser isn't full screen, how wide in pixels is your usual browser window?)

Is the horizontal scroll needed or is it just 1 or 2 pixels?

I'll find out that info for you tomorrow when I am at that computer again. Horizontal scroll is needed.

1024x768 resolution.

1024x768 resolution.

That's a resolution from 10 years ago, that's the problem.

Yes in your case you should use either the fluid width (0) or a set width less than 1024.

However 90%+ visitors are using higher res.

lmfao... hey joe, you should consider that much of the base here could be on 15" vga monitors still



and why no setting for monochrome

I went ahead and changed it to 1000 as the width for guests and default width anyway. I still recommend 1140 though.

My dot matrix printer does a great job.
