Koby Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 After being over at my grandma's who has a big screen monitor.. or at least bigger than mine. Hers is 19 inches and has a resolution of 1440x900. I decided the forum looked too thin as it was less than half the screen. O.o So I now see what some of you meant before about it being small.I decided to widen the forum. It was 760 in width because I thought a lot of people still used 800x600 width, but I use 1024x768 at home. I still believe the majority use the same as I do at home, but anyhow because of that I wanted it to still look good in 1024x768 resolution so I set the width to 980.I hope you like it this way. Since it's wider I need to make a new banner or design the current one to be longer. However I'm still at my grandma's so I don't have a graphics program. So it will have to stay like this for a bit, then when I get home I can fix it. xD Hope you don't mind.-Koby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citizenmanman Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I like it a lot more... there is about an underscore worth of space on both sides of my screen left... it fits perfectly, but the banner looks off now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 really? great I was hoping there would still be a lil on each side so I made it a lil smaller.yeah I know about the banner, but I'm at my grandma's and she doesn't have a graphics program. :/Gotta wait till I get home.

†cloud1414 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 well i think it will look nice when you get the longer banner in there =Di like it koby =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I was at home for a moment and well I made the banner wider.. what do you think?I also did a few small changes to the banner besides just making it wider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
†Taylor Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Well, it's certainly wider. Though I'm not sure which I prefer. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as I don't have to scroll left or right to see the entire page, which I current don't have to do, so I'm fine with it.

tebian Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Howdy I run a few websites for the linkshells on FFXI. From my none professional but love your banner perspective its just the right size. I just had to replace my computer and yes it sounds hookie but WalMart does have one for under 500 bucks that does everything just great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had to replace my computer and yes it sounds hookie but WalMart does have one for under 500 bucks that does everything just great.Actually when my grandma was buying her computer she took me everywhere with her since she doesn't have a clue about them, lol. We shopped Best Buy, Circuit City, and Walmart. I actually found the best deal at Walmart. xDA Compaq Presario, which is my favorite PC brand, as I've used them in the past and never had any problems and they don't polute your pc with tons of unwanted crap when you first buy it (My mom bought a E-Machines pc, and it was loaded with tons of crap right out of the box.. O.o never buy a E-Machines pc, lol.. :/ ). Anyways back to my grandma's pc, I found at Walmart a Compaq Presario with 2GB RAM and 360GB HDD, and a great processor (though I forgot which one it was), for just $549. So she bought it. Best Buy had the same computer but it was $200 more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
