It won't go over your screen. It is 100% the screen width. For Hob, that would be 800 pixels wide, for me it is 1280.

it fits now in 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768

the only 2 choices i have on this machine

OK, well I'll see what other feedback we get on this.

Interesting, the bottom scroll bar is there.

ive been thinking about getting a bigger monitor anyway.......this one is 5 or 6 years old now and is only 15 inch diagonal 12 inch wide.

That little bit is from the margins. With a little tweaking that will go away. But first I'd like a bit more feedback.

Looks fine for me!

The bottom is just a little large, just enough for the scroll bar to appear, as shown above.

Woha Dude, you really freaked me out!!!
Looks great on my new giant screen!

Does this mean wider pics too?

Looks fine for me. I always run 1280 anyway, but now i have no dead space to the sides

I couldn't figure out what was different...it's the dead spots are gone. I like it!

Looks okay. It always takes me a while to get used to any change, but that's a personal problem.

I am noticing that the pages are loading a lot faster -- even the picture-intensive pages. Does that have anything to do with this? Whatever it is -- it's an improvement.

Nope, that is more likely affected by the number of other users sharing your connection to the web and the number of visitors on the server.

No more feedback on this? Are we happy with the full-width version of the forum?

Hob, how is it fitting on your monitor? I tweaked the margin a bit so that no horzontal scroll bar shows up.
