Just a suggestion....

Have you any suggestions for additional forums or improvements?

Just a suggestion....

Hi everyone, (Just hope someday someone reads this)

I really love the new forum format, it's just amazing.

I don't want to bother Admins or anything but I just have a little suggestion for the format. I'll try to explain it.

Lots of computers run at 1024*768 screen resolution, in my case is not because I want to (I would chose a higher res) but because my LCD monitor can't run at higher ones   :'(.

Today, when I was watching the thread I made with some shots... I noticed some shots were cut.

Just like this...

So if I wanted to look at the other side, I had to use the scroll bar.

Just like this...

And if the shot I want to look entirely is the 1st one of a set of 5, I have to go downnnnnn and use the scroll bar, and it's quite uncomfortable. :-/

I noticed this happened only on 1024*768 or lower res, because I used my cousins laptop with 17' and it didn't happen.

Now the quiestion is..

Is there any way to make a wider space? I see that there's a blank space at the sides of the screen so is there anyway to take that space and use it to make the 800*600 screenshots fit better?

Sorry for my bad english but hope someone understands it  ;) ;)

But the scroll bars only appear in IE7 and Firefox. So it would be out of the frying pan and into the fire.

IE6 seems optimum for these forums.

Correction. The vertical scroll bars on large sigs don't appear in IE6 that's all. I don't really see that as

Just changed my screen resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768, seems really strange to me  :o but hopefully i'll adjust. I just asked my brother if he noticed anything different about the computer and he couldn't even tell  :P  [smiley=happy.gif]

And the good news is that in this thread i no longer get those awful scrollbars like i did before hand!  ;D ;) But sadly i still get the in the freeware screenshot forum etc... where they have bigger images, at least the scrollbars arn't as big as they were and i don't have to scroll far to look at the whole images.  ::)

Sadly im still having the problem with the forums being glued to the left hand side of the screen! Anyhelp with that?  :-?

Cheers

Luke ;)

P.S. - That reminds me i must try flight simulator to see how it all looks.

That seems to be a result. I'm sure you will soon adjust. :)
You didn't say which browser you're using. The only thing I can suggest is to update to the latest version or try a different one.

If you're running FS in Full Screen mode it shouldn't look any different.

Currently using IE5 (I think  :-?) Dont ask why!  ::)   :P
Would downloading the latest version mess up my computer internet setting etc? Because i have a bad history with breaking internets and i cant afford to be fixing computers!  :o
By the way im using windows 98 if that concerns anything...

And yes FS looks extremely clearer! I wish i had done this sooner!
