Not to rant or anything, but just to mention, esp. if others are experiencing this on their end as well.
Lately many of the forums are too wide for my browser settings and viewing the forums in general are getting somewhat annoying. I realise at a greater resolution it wouldn't be as much an issue but to keep my fonts and icons as big as I prefer to view them I'd need a panoramic or widescreen monitor (just a thought :cool: ) just to keep from scrolling sideways back and forth. I remember when ixl set up the newest layout of the forums that he tweaked a way for individual posts to take on a width of their own. But the listing's pages don't seem to have that same feature. Therefore the way the titles and other columns are used dictates how wide the page will be.
I think I've tracked down the 2 reasons it is that way and am requesting a fix if any of the higher ups would be so kind to do it (ie. mjc, Pete and ixl). (Please, pretty please :( )
On my browser at least, in PC World, the 2 'moved' threads have long titles with no spaces and in so are strettcchhiinngg the left box so aallll the page is widened. A simple spacebar hit in selective spots in the title would remedy the situation quite well I'm sure. Any mod could do that I assume.
Almost all the other forums are stricken with a more subtle widening due to mjc's sticky post at the top on 'mslaugh/....'. This is in twofold though. One, the title has no spaces, two, mjc's 'title' is too long, in a way. I'm not aiming anything at you mj, just noting where the software problem lies/lay/lays/ (I always got those confused in school :o ). There are spaces in the title but the allowance of the 'posted by box' is set too wide (IMO) and coupled with the width of the title box it makes our viewing pages very wide especially for those non gamer's with bad eyes setting resolutions to 800x600 and esp. 640x480
Oh boy, guess my days are numbered after this one... :eek: Anyone else noticed how w-i-d-e everything is or is it just me? If I increased my resolution I'd need a bigger monitor. Or 'Coke bottles'...
