Browser Window Size

Is there a setting I could change so that the forum isn't "stretched" when I have my browser full-screen?

can you take a screen shot? I have the browser full screen on every computer I use, from 14inch monitor to 30 inch and it never seems stretched.

I don't know the best way to explain it lol. Instead of the forum windows touching the outside, most websites have a set size and is centered (like Facebook). As it is, I usually have my browser window at a custom size instead of fullscreen, and this website is the reason for that lol

I think I get what you are trying to say. You are saying that whether you have your browser maximized or smaller, you always see the full forum in your window, where as on other sites, when you change the size of your browser, the site you are on doesnt change, but instead your browser gets a scroll bar to allow you to see all of it.

Correct?

Ok I know what you are talking about now. back in the vbulletin 3 days, when picking a style, I always had to choose between "fixed' and "fluid" With vb4 they got rid of that, and everything seems to be fluid.

I will see if there are still fixed width options available.

Okay, thanks for your time

Looked it up and figured it out. It's not a quick fix. The way you pick fluid over fixed is in the way the templates/stylevars are written for each style. Using things like "width = 100%" means fluid, because you always see 100% of the forum. To make it fixed, you would use things like "width = 150px" meaning the site would always be 150 pixels.

Unfortunately it would take a a rewrite of huge amounts of coding to change the site over to fixed. I am now looking for a pre-built fixed version of the dark style, which I will add as an option on the site. Hopefully I can find one. From your screenshot I can see you use the Nikola style, which was coded by Nikola. Since he is no longer around, he obviously can't change his style over to fixed, and since its a custom style, I can't find download a pre-fixed one off the internet lol.

I'll let you know if I find some dark styles in fixed format and we'll see which one looks the best.

I appreciate your efforts, but if it proves too much of a headache then you can back-burner that shit with no hard feelings on my side lol
