The Board is TOO wide

austin_pow · 2nd May 2002, 09:37 PM

is it possible to shrink the board slightly so you dont get the scroll bar at the bottom of the page??? coz you have to read one side then scroll to the other side.. its kinda annoying (to me).. but if it was designed for the reason that the topic line was getting long and you guys had to fit it on.. then that's sweet, i can learn to live with it..

OR is it just my computer???? :cry:

just your 'pute boss, change the screen format.

The vast majority of users here use 1024x768 format or greater, only a couple of you guys on 800x600 or less will encounter that problem.. a computer I bought 6 years ago could handle 1024x768 so i think its time to upgrade your hardware!

But yeah i'll have a look tonite and see if I can sort something out, no gurantee's tho sorry! will do my best

my hardware is good enough man.. i tried 1024xblah blah.. but hell.. that is so small.. how can you guys see. but oh ok.. dont worry then.

austin_pow : try 1024x768 with large fonts.. its a bit easier to read

im running 1152x864 on a 17" and its not too small. i can read everything fine

my monitor can go upto 2048x1536, but ive only tried it on that setting once and it crashed my computer. lol

yeh if you change your screen size to 1024x768...or whatever and it looks real small you will soon get used to it...i used to put mine on 1024x768 now im on 1280x1024 and at first it was really small but now it's just normal to me, and now 1024x768 is like 800x600 for me everything is so big, lol

- only on 17"

I agree that the board is too wide... maybe strink it by like 30 pixels? or have the table using 100% of the screen width instead of basing it on pixel size?

My computer can support 1024x768 and greater... but I'm using 800x600 because the monitor i'm using is 15".... would rather spend $400 to upgrade cpu, mainboard, etc...

If I change the settings to 1024x768 then the fonts and menus are gonna be too small too read...

I think this is a problem with anyone using 15" monitor (ie. most lap-tops, LCD screen, etc)

I have no problem on a 15" monitor at 1024x768..... (except when someone puts upa huge piccy in their post)
