jmr suggested a change to make the subjects a little longer when looking at the forum index:

http://www.josh.net.au/images/albums/userpics/10001/hmmm.JPG

I'm made a change so instead of 18 characters, it's now 28. It still certainly could be longer for me, but I run in 1600x1200 so I don't want to adjust it just for me needs.

Lemme know what you think of the chance and what res you're using. If you're using a non-standard resolution please just pick the closest one that matches your screen size.

It's really no biggie. What i can't read in the thread title only makes for more suspenseful viewing.

No idea what my resolution is...how do I find out?

http://trog.qgl.org/up/res.html <-- find your screen resolution

Don't trust trog - it's a trap!

I would rather the implimentation of each post as a seperate div or table to prevent massive images f***ing up the rest of a thread :)

i thought i noticed something diffrent when i opened up. looks all good to me

As a widescreen user, I welcome the changes.

pretty obvious 1280 X 1024 is rockin. I am happy to be part of the soft underbelly of the masses.

I hope you are just using 1280x1024 as the closest resolution to 1280x960.

Just hover your mouse of the titles of threads...

1280x1024 owns 1280x960

indeed jim

Maybe in a crazy world where your squares are rectangles.

Personal profile setting for text length IMO!

Speaking of profiles, whenever I click profile under someones name it always shows my profile, even though the URL refers to their ID number.

Seriously, so long as it can wrap if the length is exceeded, who cares if the title is long (within reason).

Speaking of profiles, whenever I click profile under someones name it always shows my profile, even though the URL refers to their ID number.

Feature - profiles were disabled yonks ago. Massive overhauls of the profile page are on my TODO, getting closer.

Chop chop then, I demand you give up all those holidays you have overseas and devote all your time to making this free forum better.

Just take QGL off ausnetwork and run it on PHPBB or PunBB :P Why go through the agony of having to hack stuff all the time when you could just set up the new forum once with the appropriate modifications and then be more or less done barring updates which you didnt have to do...

phpBB is the s***tiest most unsecure and crap forum software around. SMF is where it's at.

1280x960 because 75hz hurts my eyes :(

Edit:

\/ \/ \/ It's a native LCD resolution

wtf is 1280x1024?
I voted for it, but I'm running 1280x960 as that's the true 4:3.

more viewing area = win, long live 1280x1024

screen res is not the real issue here it should be browser window size. I think my browser window size is about 800x600..

Yeh, that's also true. I don't run in full size windows on 1600x1200.

because when I want to change something, I don't want to have to learn a whole new codebase

indeed SMF is a superior creature.

re thread titles i think they should be shorter. i mean really, who has the time to be reading all these long-winded thread titles?

What the hell Jim.

WTF MATE?

I just changed from 1280x1024 to 1280x960 and everything is much easier to read.

I dont have a 1024x960 option :(

I'm missing out..

1280.

Suspenseful viewing? haha must be living the good life to look forward to threads so much.

why are non-4x3 resolutions even around?

Maybe Bj could fund some new sort of super-forum

couldn't you just have the resolution as a profile option, and set the table size accordingly?

why are non-4x3 resolutions even around?

cos 1280x1024 owns all over 1280x960

i think bj needs to invest in a sense of humor

Jim prefers resolutions closer to 4x4

people running 1280x960 obviously have s***ty crt's

Likewise LCD boy

I hope you can read this. If you're looking at the monitor 1 degree of perpindicular it'll probably be all polarized and you won't be able to see s***

what we really need are ignore lists so I can ignore your stupid ass hashy

Likewise LCD boy

How hard would it be to make it user selectable?

make it dynamic to suit whatever resolution each person has.
that being said, everyone is getting 20" widescreen, 1680x1050 i reckon.

How hard would it be to make it user selectable?

its not a matter of how hard it is, its a matter of how lazy are the ausgamers people

oh wait i didn't just say that

nf, I resemble that implication

Jim prefers resolutions closer to 4x4

ahah

nf, I resemble that implication

resent. f***.

bj will have a sense of humour soon he just has to go and ask his dad.

*swoosh!*
no, I resemble it

So you look a bit like it then?

no, I resemble it

It's ok jim, I get it.

what we really need are ignore lists so I can ignore your stupid ass hashy

I'd have to disagree. No matter what Hashy says, his little chibi avatar is to endearing to permit negative feelings towards him ><

you're ignored too!

What about me evis?

How do you like being stuck to everyone's ass every time they wear an evis jeans.

hmm huh HUH?

I'm not sure that anyone really takes notice of you anyways *shrug*

If we ignored everybody who was a tool this would be everybodies personal livejournal.
