Over all Forum Size too big for 15" screens

by Richsballpythons February 14th 2010, 12:16 am

As title says i have members who say they have to scroll over to see the right side of the page. The forum doesnt auto adjust to their monitor/resolution

Any monitor 17" or bigger it is fine. 1024x768 is too small for the forum and no matter how i mess with the size it does nothing.

Any ideas

EDIT- On the forum structure area i have the Forum Width 70% and i see that its smaller in my browser but still on the 15" screens its not so. Im currently using 3 24" monitors so its hard for me to see smaller screen issues.

To confirm this any resolution below 1280x720 the forum does not fit properly. Ive tried many things and dont matter what i re-size as its the resolution of the screen.

maybe the forum width adjustment will help:

Admin Panel>General>Forum>Configuration>Forum Width[pixels or %(be sure to place the & after the amount!(ex:90%)]>Hit save

I did that and it does adjust for wide screens. but for 15" screens using 1024x768 nothing changes for them.

this is what it looks liek on 1024 x 768 screens

anything with a wide screen that can have 1280 width will see it fine. Ive changed the width to 50% and still nothing on the 1024 width

Im not worried about it at all. Most newer computer monitors will accept a higher resolution to fix the forums layout. 99% of all computer monitors sold now or laptops are wide screen which are usually default 1280x720
