Board Width
Can you narrow the board's width a bit? You see, I'm running on a 16:10 monitor at 1440x900 and it's uncomfortable to read the whole thing from side to side. Since today's standard resolutions are 800x600 and 1024x768, why not setting the board's width up to around 1000 pixels? I'm sure it can be done by modifying the board's template somewhere.

Re: Board Width
Yeah, adjusting it is very easy but I'd rather keep it in a setting that pleases most users.

Re: Board Width
What's he's refering to is there are normally two board styles. Usually and expanded and a narrow one. The narrow one can be semi-bad with people getting larger monitors all the time. My friends form listed below uses a narrow one because he said that most of vistors have a 1024 resoultion, but here, i guess there can be all sorts of types, defiently most being gamers that use wide screens. The admin would have to make a second skin and recode it just like the first one which is double work. But just some info.

Re: Board Width
That's a great idea. Something like:
- EmuZone (Default)
- EmuZone (Narrow)

Maybe if one of his moderators/coders would take up the project. The forum doesn't appear to have many plugins... so it wouldn't be difficult. Just gotta have time and resources. I use to code some forums before and grrr.. people are like why don't you have 29 skins installed. Lots of legwork
Re: Board Width
29? Too many skins. Administrators are the only ones who can edit the forum templates.

Re: Board Width
Well, not really true. If they give you the access to do it, but there's alot of trust involved on that one. Because in creating, you can destroy the site also lolzI have to computers and I do admit looks better narrow on my smaller labtop and the expanded looks great on my wide 23 inch screen.

Re: Board Width
I just tested it and it looks ugly as the logo bar goes way off. I'd rather not change such a setting right now.

Re: Board Width
Maybe because the forum banner is 800 px wide.
