img width=700

[Derek]

Yeah, I don't really like variable width websites, either...

But anyway, I wanted to start a thread for people to complain/make suggestions/give feedback about the forum - this may as well be it!

Keep it coming!

[Schoq]

Put in an image zoom feature so people stop posting huge x8 scaled up pictures in the pixel art threads, that are then quoted seven times in a row with the comment "looks good" (disable or shrink images in quotes too perhaps).

Maybe along with this as well.

[Christian Knudsen]

None of the other themes have fixed widths. They don't look good, though, but if the fixed width is a big problem, they're an option.

[CEDE]

I would like the website to serve orange juice and coffee in the morning, ice tea in the afternoon and chocolate shakes in the evening.

[Manuel Magalhães]

I second CEDE's idea. In addition I would propose pancakes for breakfast.

(I also like Alastair's idea.)

I want tea over coffee...

[Andy Wolff]

on the fixed width thing: it'd be easier for me if each offending image had a horizontal scrollbar instead of the whole post


add an optional setting that, when enabled, sends users a pm or notification of some sort telling them a post of theirs has been quoted, and where. possibly include nested quotes.

also maybe when somebody says @username

this would make it easier to respond to direct lines of conversation involving you

steal some features from other websites

On my netbook the forums take up nearly the entire width of the monitor, and on my desktop I almost never maximize my browser window, so the fixed width doesn't bother me. A more elegant way to handle large images would be greatly appreciated, though.

noob. get greasemonkey

Code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name          TIGForums Expand Width
// @description   Changes the width of the default theme from a fixed 900px to a liquid 95%.
// @include       http://forums.tigsource.com/*
// ==/UserScript==

function addGlobalStyle(css) {
    var head, style;
    head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
    if (!head) { return; }
    style = document.createElement('style');
    style.type = 'text/css';
    style.innerHTML = css;
    head.appendChild(style);
}

addGlobalStyle('#wrapper { width: 85%; }');

You are kinda ugly, homes.
Welcome to the group.

noob. get greasemonkey

Actually this is a pretty good idea.

On a design forum I'm on they started making custom options for viewing the website with Greasemonkey.

The most popular and useful features eventually got absorbed into the site design. After all, once you've written it for Greasemonkey - it's there for the taking.

How about being mobile friendly?

[Rob Lach]

Fix it yourself.

I mean this in actuality. Get greasemonkey and widen up the layout if you want if it's that much of a problem.

P.S. only read the first post.

Ctrl + Mouse Wheel Up?

Ctrl + Mouse Wheel Up?

I was thinking the same answer. Mouse revelation!

[PaleFox]

that would also make your fonts bigger AND scale images needlessly thereby defeating the purpose

set it to text zoom only
