Moses Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 I'm sorry for posting this topic to "beer bar", but I cannot to start topic in "Comments and suggestions". Mainly it will be about new layout. I will show you what I see now (fig.1). If you are wondering where all adv. are - they are cuted by adblocker: coz they are slow loading and too "pushy" - even with 1200 pix height they take more than 50% of screen (+header). In general words - it is wasting of the page's space. As well I'm wondering about forum's width - it is only 762 px (app. +\- 3 px). So, mainly visitors are watching blank space on screen. In past it was OK - old spacing btw elements, made forum more packed with info. But with new layout it become even worse: only about 15% space is useful for visitor (fig.1) Modern websites have design 960 px in width, or even with 1120px. Please take a look at pic 2. It is my offer for "quick renovation" - just to move adv. to side and fill 960 px + make forum more useful on user's first screen. Sorry for my limited English. I don't want to be rude and I respect efforts of owners to make forum better. If owners need some assistance and help in redesign - just drop me note Quote

With computer screens now much wider than before, why waste so much useful - and potentially valuable (if more ads can be secured) - space? Quote
Guest Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 I zoom to 180% of original size so the board fills the page. Standard size does look very narrow. Quote
