Post by YanOri February 20th 2010, 12:02 am

hi,my users are complaining to me that the have to scroll horizontally to view my forum fully.
this didn't happen until i changed the theme.i am not facing the problem as i am using a 20' monitor.
can anyone tell me the exact height and width of the forum i need to make .
here is my forum :: click me .
what i actually mean is what % should be the forum width ? mine is 98% currently.

edit::i have made it 90 % now and still they complain

I see a margin either side of your forum about 4cms wide.
But my screen resolution is set to 1280x1024 on a 19" monitor.

Try setting your forum to 80% and see how they view it.

The background doesn't decide the width of your forum.

It is the % and the users screen resolution that decides if they have to scroll.

I have mine set at 80% and my members haven't complained about having to scroll.

Checked...the margins are about 3 cms wide each side of your forum.

They are wider than the forumotion forums

you said keeping 80 % doesn't give any prob to your forum.... i think it must be re-sized according to the forum theme...

See if a Mod can give you the width of this forum.

The resolution will depend on what your members can set their monitors to.
