Browsers and Resolutions - Firefox Wins!

Dude, I paid. I can turn off the damn ads if I want.

You know there's a CS feature to turn off ads anyways, right?

I was referring to exactly that, though apparently not specifically enough.

One thing to bear in mind (many sites don't ) is that screen resolution is not necessarily a good indication of the size of browser window!

My screen is 1900 wide, but I keep my browsers at no more than 1024 wide because I like to (a) have other things visible at the same time (b) like to keep line length to a comfortable reading length (~ 12 words).

Of course, I do see plenty of people with big screens who still run everything maximised like when they had 800x600 or lower. (shakes head dramatically)

What exactly are your 'security cameras' looking out for?

I'm not bragging or taunting you. My initial post was giving you extra information -- there are people who may not be showing up, and as one, here I am using Firefox anyway. Trust me, if I didn't have the site's interests at heart, you wouldn't see me in Meta at all.

Don't set up an adversarial relationship with your userbase. It's neither necessary nor productive.

You're right - my apologies.

You're right - my apologies.

No worries.

Anyway: would it be possible to get a user-specified min-width?

Thanks, -- N

It's a margin issue. I saw it this weekend on my mom's computer which is 1024x768. I'm looking to rework the styles - I really want a *true* css layout for ENWorld, not this table nightmare courtesy vbulletin. However, a pure css vbulletin skin will take a good month to dev.

I personally would be happy with NO margins (and no min-width). I'm probably in the minority on both, though.

Is it possible to have a secondary style, like the old Stealth?

Thanks, -- N

Meanwhile the screen resolutions surprised me - 1024x768 remains the largest single group at 24% of the site, but all the other top 9 are higher resolutions (800x600 didn't even register 1%)

Why does that surprise you? LCDs are rather common these days, and they are usually 19" upwards and as such 1280 upwards.

I expected 1024x768 to be even lower - around 5%

Ah, I see.
