I don't think there is a way to do that on an individual basis, sorry.


Maybe allow the forum to stretch out past the top and bottom menu's? It probably would be just a simple table formating change in the code. If I'm the only one who it bothers I can deal. ;)

I'm not sure I want it wider than 800 pixels, I try to be considerate of users on smaller, slower computers. Plus it would look funky if it stretched past the header and footer.

I agree it would look odd but I rarely see users that use less than 1024x768 these days. Maybe we could vote on a standard resolution size?

cd, even if the resolution is never used smaller than 1024x768, the design still stands because the purpose of the site is to look like it does on THAT resolution. Currently the length is 800 pixels...when you look at the browser in 800x600, it actually STRETCHES past the end of the monitor (I know for a fact without doing it on this site because I build almost ALL my sites with 800 width).

This website was actually made MORE for people with 1024x768 resolution than for people with 800x600... On top of that, I run 1280x1024 and I think the website looks just FINE.

Yeah actually we'll probably change some more of the buttons to match, I think they just got left out before.

you just need to refresh the page you are on, as the old button images are stuck in your browser cache

I have noticed one thing that needs to be fixed...

whenever you visit any section (atleast for me), whenever I enter another forum (ie: News and Announcements), the giant text telling me what section I'm in doesn't stay on one line, and has to go on two maybe THREE lines... It's a lot of whitespace that's uneccesary.

Go Ashcraft! WORK WORK WORK ;)

or is it just me?
