Widen the layout?

[Caydr]

Admittedly I'm not sure what the rationale for making the site fixed-width is, so I can't say it's a bad idea. But could the maximum width at least be bumped up a little? It's a really basic change if you have any decent web designers "on staff". Maybe a few hours' work at most.

I like it this way, its much easier to read than having this text spilled over my 1920 horizontal resolution.

ctrl+mousewheel

I don't like it. Make it configurable!

Ctrl mousewheel isn't a solution, and it wouldn't hurt to fix this site at 999px wide (so that it will fit nicely on 1024x768+scrollbar).

The biggest problem would be that we would need new banner images (Oh the horror).

No it reads like ass. Not this idiotic shit again. No web designer I know uses that asinine crap.

The site needs widening by as much as 100px before the forum template correctly fits.

Lol I'll keep my mouth shut. Just know that the connotation is there

I also think that people were 100% off their rockers for doing this site in a wiki instead of wordpress, but sigh. That's another debate.

I realize the technical limitations, I do web design part time. That's why I said it would take a few hours to do, rather than a few seconds.

My first post perhaps wasn't being clear, I mean the forum primarily. I realized that even a medium-length post in terms of word count looks like a frakking 3 page text wall.

On the other hand, the site itself could use a resize. Are there actually opponents to this, besides the tiny amount of graphical reformatting that would be necessary?

The logos wouldn't need to be redone but they really should be, ideally.

This isn't exactly a big request. phpBB supports multiple themes. Some can be fixed-width, some can scale. It would be a trivial matter.

Surely there's another web designer that's done this kind of thing before that can understand what I'm saying? I do this kind of thing all the time.

Code: Select all

<?php if($theme == 'wide'):  ?>
<link href="/css/widelayout.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<?php endif;  ?>

Nop no idea what you are talking about. Can you do it with Lua?

Pendrokar obviously has never dealt with phpbb3 templates

This is kiddy stuff, AF...
