SDS Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 or am i simply not very observant? whatever the case, i like it, it looks nice well, it is the same banner as the front page has had since the summer. However, I changed it so that all the members were using this skin. If you like the old one better, you can choose it in the drop down menu in the bottom left hand corner.

The Poojer Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 what is this "front page" of whic you speak? my homepage is set to off the wall, and i navigate from there....looks nice well, it is the same banner as the front page has had since the summer. However, I changed it so that all the members were using this skin. If you like the old one better, you can choose it in the drop down menu in the bottom left hand corner.

Bmwolf21 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 well, it is the same banner as the front page has had since the summer. However, I changed it so that all the members were using this skin. If you like the old one better, you can choose it in the drop down menu in the bottom left hand corner. Is there any way to make the new skin stretch to fit widescreen displays? The board is centered on my monitor with about 1 1/2" of dead space on the left and right.

I thought you changed it for today, for stability. If it's OK, then I will return to Bills Skin 100%. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 choose whatever you want. I just want this to be the default skin. I'll get around to updating the old one... someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new default is nice, but as Bmwolf noted, it may not be the best for widescreen monitors. The site is looking really good, and running really fast. for the most part.

Agreed - I really like the new skin, just looks and feels a bit awkward with the board centered and the blank space on either side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Agreed - I really like the new skin, just looks and feels a bit awkward with the board centered and the blank space on either side. with the new ginormous monitors the full screen is actually more awkward. The fixed with is large enough to utilize enough screen real estate with/out have absurd paragraph widths. I mean, what other site has text extend for 1600 pixels across the monitor? Use the new skin for a week and you'll like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My laptop is only 1280 across, and the new skin shortens THAT up considerably. Use the new skin for a week and you'll like it. I've used websites that center on the screen for years now, and I've never liked them. The best websites don't do it. Examples off the top of my head: http://www.slashdot.org http://forums.footballguys.com http://forums.hornfans.com http://forums.somethingawful.com (when you're logged into an account) Why not just leave the old skin as it is, so we can pick and choose? I'd hate to have to use one of the default IPB skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried we'd put up Bruce because of his WOF. JK works well for now and well into the future. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
