Tendo City

Where did the "Standard" forum layouts go? The ones with the avatar and such over the post? I hate this layout!

I don't care about that, but the sidebar seems to have grown in width, which I don't like... too wide now.

Well, some of that could be the size of my avatar.

I just don't like the look of this layout is all. I can't be the only one.

dunno, i've been using Rumble City Reborn for months now.

I'm using the new Twilight Princess one. I like it. It doesn't seem too big to me. Of course, I'm using 1024x768, I don't know about the rest of you. Every site's layout seems to be too big for 800x600 these days, so I've permanently switched.

i use the cristmas 2004

...But it's February.

Anyhoo, the only one around here who uses 800x600 is ABF. I understand he also communicates using smoke signals, and he runs his computer by pedaling a bike attached to a generator the whole time he is online.

Well, between the foraging for food and making fire with sticks.

P.S.: Nobody uses 800x600 anymore, ABF :D

I used to use 800x600, but it sucked so much that I switched to 1024x768 about five or six years ago. Seriously, anything else is just too big or too small. Some of those resolutions make me wonder who'd actually use them.

I use 1280X768.

Weirdo :D

ABF, have you tried just adjusting the resolution and then going into the font options and setting them to large or very large? Things should easily be big enough for you to read then.

I myself have been considering "kicking it up a notch", against better judgement, to an even higher resolution. However, the next jump is going to require a boost in font size from my experimenting.

No, that just makes everything look weird, and that just affects text, not the other stuff...

And note that I do use higher resolutions in games.

I use 1280 x 1024. This layout takes up about half of my screen.

It's called WIDESCREEN!

I know it just affects the text, but isn't that the main problem you had? It doesn't cause any graphical glitches, so I don't know what you mean by "look weird". It's an adjustment, of course it's not going to look the same as it did before. That's sort of the point.

I bet ABF buys Fullscreen versions of DVD movies.

It would just make sense, given how reluctant he is in other ways to adapt to modern technology.

Hahaha. :D

I hate having to settle for fullscreen.

Not sure how that makes sense actually. First of all, strawman (him not wanting to go to a higher resolution doesn't really indicate that he doesn't like new technology). Second, given your premise, how is a widescreen format "new technology"?

It indicates that he is averse to change, which he has admitted in the past.

Second, the widescreen format is a newer format than 4:3, in general, and the distinction is more considerable in the forum of home entertainment. I know that it has existed for a long time, but only in the past few years has it really caught on. As someone who sells movies, the full-screen format is purchased by old people who were dragged kicking and screaming into the DVD age, and by people who are simply ignorant (assuming, for instance, that picture area is lost in widescreen, when the opposite is true).

Why does this bother me, you ask? Because I don't buy movies that often, but when I do, it's obviously going to be in widescreen. And there's nothing as irritating as finding a movie I want, only to find that whatever place I'm in carries only the fullscreen version. It's the same reason I get irritated with people who insist on lower screen resolutions; it means that most websites are forced to cater to these cavemen, meaning that my high-res screen is filled with empty white when I view these sites.

Cavemen? It merely means a lot of people don't see the point in needlessly increasing resolution. I see no need to go beyond 1024X748 for example. At a certain point, it's just too small. For ABF, it reached that point quicker than for others.

Wouldn't that make him a conservative?

No, of course I buy widescreen... well, I don't really buy DVD movies (just a few, most of the ones I have were gifts), but the few I own are widescreen.

Heheh. Yup.
