I noticed something, the site's new theme doesn't fit an 800x600 resolution screen, is there any way to have this fixed? I like the theme, don't want to have to change it, but can't switch to 1024x768 cause my parents can't see anything then, and they start bitching, here are some screen shots, just to give you an idea
*edit* ok, got it fixed, forgot can't use bitmaps

erm thats an error with your browser dude. clear your cookies and restart firefox. if you use an old version get the latest. i assure you it looks just fine in 800x600.

The old theme wasn't 800x600 friendly either.
I took special consideration of Shaft with the last theme and this one to make sure you didn't have to maximize it on 1024x768. However, its too big of a pain to make it work for 800x600, that resolution just doesn't have enough room for everything I want/need on the front. The standard rule of thumb for pages these days is 1024x768. Time for your parents to upgrade and use the browser to increase the font size.

bwahaha...you still have to scroll right, GND! Looks like what you think is "just fine" is "still broken" :D
actually EE look again.
only the top border is waht exceeds the width.
the center table works up fine.
you can tell by the boundary color being correct on the right :)

Accually Blue, look again.
What if he wants to read the entire google add?

actually doc..
ignore the google add.
what if he wanted to see the letters HOM in HOME.
my point is that the content is there. just the header is screwy.

That's a bug in Firefox. I haven't spent time fixing it because I don't use Firefox. For some reason, Firefox's renderer is incapable of rendering HTML the same way every time it loads a page that hasn't changed.

i know. thats what i was saying. but aparently making me wrong is more important so everyone didnt bother looking at hannibals pictures and instead focused on how theres still 1/8 of an inch that didnt fit in the window.

The super stretch pane on the left only occurs in Firefox, regardless of resolution.
Neither browser will look pretty at 800x600, per my original comments.
this entire time i was agreeing w/ acme :)

I thought it was obvious Acme was right, I was just having fun. Now that Acme had his hissy fit and said we were all wrong for agreeing with him I'll return the favor and tell the world he has a big, round nose.

i think you mean hissy fit. but in hind sight sissy fit seems more accurate. i think i might be bipolar and maniac depressive. hahaha.
