RFC: 20071228 - Forum Design Changes

[peter]

Purpose: To make the forums more attractive

Other Information: New wide screen monitors are making the forums harder to read. The current format is set such that the forums occupy 100% of the screen width. A smaller width, such as 1000 pixels, would make the forums uniformly easy to read.

Poll Question: Is this a site modification that requires a vote from the entire membership, or can this be implemented without one?

[fossy]

The display is fine on my wide screen, except for this ridiculously small editor.

[peter]

I've tried setting the width in the control panel, but it doesn't adjust. I'll research it some more.

[beezlebubsbum]

I must admit I like the dynamic width settings. Nothing worse then having a massive monitor and a puny site to look at.

[peter]

I haven't heard anything more on this. I'll be adjusting the width today.
