Ellinwood Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Don't know if you guys are already looking into this or not, but a full width option for the new forum skin would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I may do a wider width for the board and leave everything else that is to come in a more fixed width. Still tweaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugo Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 On Firefox, hitting CTRL-+ three times makes it fit perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 On Firefox, hitting CTRL-+ three times makes it fit perfectly With Internet Explorer you have to click you heels 3 times and say "There's no place like home". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 No, unless you have an unusually low resolution setting on your monitor. It is very annoying, i am having the same problem. With the old forum skin i never had this problem, when you switched it i have to scroll right and left to read the entire post. Is it possible to switch it back to the old way?. It makes reading the forum much more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not use firefox and doing that every time i use the forum is a pain in the ass. Plus i just tried it and when i do that it makes the letters to small for me to read easily.

Wow Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 You shouldn't have to zoom to make it work. The width setup is basically the same as before now with a min with of 990px. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My screen resolution is 1024x 768 does that have something to do with it. If i make it any higher the letters become to small for me to read on my computer. With the old skin i never had a problem but now i cannot read the posts without scrolling right or left all the time. Thanks in advance for your help.

The easiest way to discuss/solve a problem is by seeing what you're seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the old forum skin i never had this problem, when you switched it i have to scroll right and lto read the entire post. Is it possible to switch it back to the old way?. It makes reading the forum much more difficult. Why are you having to run 1024x768? Hardware? Does it do the same thing on my site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wow Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I'm going to need more information... browser software & version, screenshot, monitor type (is this a CRT?) The min width property for the container is 990px, so a 1024px width resolution should fit this. Anything greater than 990px is 80% of the full res width.

Wow Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I went back to compare the code to the old skin and noticed I did not transfer over the MAX width property of 1600px. I didn't think that would fix your issue - quite the contrary I believed - but am glad it is fixed for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Go ahead and draw one up and I'll let you know what I think I felt like being creative today: Here's what it looks like with some color in the background: EDIT: I noticed that the logo as shown on the forum is resized down, so I made an image of the appropriate size to fit the logo area: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wow Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Globe is a good idea.. maybe in b/w with a lower opacity in the bg behind the lettering. Font is Bebas Regular! My dear, dear Bebas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 It's a nice editorial font. I'm using @font-face so even if the user doesn't have it installed on their computers, it will still display. Looks better.. i'll try globe logos tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
