Maybe I'm wrong? But the forum feels a little squished...maybe it is because I'm a fan of large forums. But, I do feel maybe the forum is a little bit small.

Thanks if you read this.

I do believe that this was a result of some people stuck on smaller resolutions back when the forum was made. I could be wrong, but that is, from what I understand, why it's so small. However, to change that would require a LOT of editing to all of the skins.

Current skins won't be made wider. The amount of images and coding that would have to be edited just isn't worth it.

I don't think he has it anymore, does he? I thought that was just the issue back in the beginning and the rest of the skins have been the same size for consistency's sake.

Idk. Everything I have ever done design wise for SZ(including some concepts I did a few months ago) had to be either fixed width, no wider than 750 or so pixels or fluid with a minimum width no wider than 750. Mandated by Chris despite my many protests. :P

Yeah I see this all the time, I have a good 900 spare pixels...

1) Back when SZ was founded, 700 pixel widths was the standard. Since then, we haven't had a new template that was in the "fluid width" phase of PB. :P That didn't help

2) Yes, we want 800x600 support. v2 actually has special coding to work for 800x600 by removing the side wires. However, the 800x600 and normal template can actually be different... we've never ruled that out Josh. :P As in, different headers if you want.

3) Nothing will be done about the current templates unfortunately. Sorry.

Ok, Chris, we have a problem here. You never once informed me we could do different shit for the different resolutions. After all the bitching I did about SO's freaking 800x600 monitor, you never thought it was a good idea to tell me that we could do that? :P If I am ever in Cambridge, I am kicking your ass.
