Vertical space
-
I notice that on a 17" monitor (wide format laptop)(1280x800), Mac / Firefox, I need to scroll for the last bit to see the next page buttons (at the bottom of the page). Didn't ever see that before. This is sort of the opposite of the width issue noted above. Shouldn't most elements be within a standard window width? 15" or 17"? Especially navigation buttons? Just being helpful....
-
Didn't you incidentally zoom in? Press Ctrl+0 (zero) to zoom 100% on the website. The whole width is 960 pixels altogether so should fit on a 1200 something monitor.
-
It's a Mac Gai,, anything is possible.
-
Well, Mac or not, 960 pixels (or 940 with 10 pixel margin on each side) is just 940 pixels.

vertical space? 2 lines of post fill a screen

I like the space. I have a 1920x1080 LCD and keeping everything in that nice little strip down the middle makes it easier to read. With web pages that go edge-to-edge I have to sit way back from the screen to see everything.
-
That's not the space OP (I) was speaking of
I mean the waste of space (loose grouping of buttons, line spacing, extra features etc.) requiring much more scrolling down the page than before.
I think you DO have to have sufficient side buffers so everyone doesn't have to scroll sideways on regular screens. (As a matter of fact, on a wide 17 in screen, I have to scroll sideways to use this forum now as well.)
-
That's true. I do find myself hunting for things that are a little spaced out, but I just blame myself for needing time to get used to the new layout.

I also wonder why the forum Title needs to be so large it's uses 33px and has a 15px bottom margin, for a total of 48px in height.
OK.. thanks Gai or Rich, I see someone added a specific CSS rule to remove the unneeded 15px bottom margin.
Well 15px is a start for ya', Peter.

Also try the Page Eraser Chrome Extension if space is an issue

Peter,
Another option for saving vertical space and reducing scrolling, in topic pages:
-
Goto User Control Panel
-
Choose the Board preferences tab
-
Select the Edit display options panel
-
Turn OFF signatures
-
Turn OFF avatars
-
(Your choice) to also turn OFF images in posts
etc... click the Submit button, when done.
