Screen Width.

[Animal]

Is there any way to change your homepage theme so that it fills the browser window widthways?

Heres a few screenshots to illustrate my point:

on both the US Forums, and the UKAA site, the theme will expand to fill my browser window:

However, your homepage leaves me looking at a postage stamp:

Just an observation ;-)

Good suggestion Animal, I will need to see if it the template will allow it and discuss with the BoD.

Hi Animal,

We designed the site around the internet standard which is 1024x768. There is a great percentage of guys especially in AA that have older monitors, graphics cards  and their screen res in nowhere near the size of yours.

Personally I have a larger screen res too, but we need to go with the internet standard rather then individuals.

Hope this helps mate.

Firestorm, I understand why you would target 1024x768, but was pointing out the anomaly between the forums and the homepage - one resizes to larger monitor sizes, the other doesn't.

Just struck me as a bit odd, thats all :)

We may be changing that, so dont get to comfortable with the spacious forums.....decisions will be made soon I hope.

Very good feedback and suggestions,

I wish all could be done with the click of a button but because it cannot, like I always say,,,,,,,

Go Slow, Let It Grow ;D

I think it has to do with the front page having certain text, script, and blocks ( video block and the clock block and the images in certain blocks) and the forums only having sigs..

I personally dont see it as a problem or a hassle that you need to shift over a bit to the right to see the entire contents on the front page.  I even have to shift over in a message reply to see the top right corner that has the (you have 0 messages, and the time and date block).  Its all personal preference I think, but that is my input.

PS: I have a very old monitor.
