The Video Game Forum Wii, PS3, Xbox 360

Dunno what resolution from space you're running on, but I think that the resolution for the forum is a tad too high, I run a 1024x resolution and a 5th of the forum gets chopped off. Maybe you should tone it down a little.

Yup thats correct. I run at 1024x768 and its too wide. Its a pain to scroll horizontally. I think 1024x768 is the most common resolution these days so the layout must be designed according to it. Its better to switch to a fluid width layout than a fixed width layout.

The forums work fine for me at 1280x1024, so that must be what they're set at. What self-respecting gamer still has a 1024x768 monitor anyway ?

The forum is currently set to be 100% of the screen width which is fluid. I will look into the problem however and see what I can find out.

I believe I have fixed this problem. I checked out the new settings using this site and everything looks good.

If anyone is still having problems please let me know.

Now the front page looks a bit squished on 1280x1024. There's no option for 1280x1024 on the simulator. I've put up a screenshot here so you can see what it looks like.

It looks perfect to me. Nothings wrong and fits screen perfectly.

gameforum · 05-04-2008, 02:35 AM

I notice that at any screen resolution at 800x600 Pixels or below will require you to scroll over. Most users have larger screens so I think I'm going to keep it at it's current size.

It looks good to me. It might be your monitor or it's settings.

That or you have a bad monitor, and gamefourms is only ment for those of us with good monitors.

Only the frontpage has that horizontal scroll with me, this page is just fine.
I am on 1024 x 768, using IE Beta 8.
