Vertical space
-
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.
