It is a great way to keep the site up and running without everyone having to pony up some $$$.

The only thing I have issue with is that the banner graphics aren't up to the standard of the rest of the site....yet! I'm sure it will be refined as I know it is a work in progress.


It would be selling out ONLY if D.C. was the only shop able to have a banner, but if everyone is afforded the same opportunity to advertise then it just good business. DC shouldn't be penalized for making a wise advertising decision either.

Other forums are certainly available for sponsorship. But at the same time, we will not oversell and have logo's everywhichway you turn.

I really did not expect this much hub bub about one graphic and a few lines of text!

Ii know this isnt quite the correct thread.... but I see other suggestions being thrown out!

I run 1680x1050 and 1920x1200.

Can we get a widescreen/high resolution optimized style layout as an option? I've been to other vBulletin sites that use it and it ROCKS.

The actual forum section only takes up 1/2 the screen on both my machines! The sides of my screen are just filled with the black crosshatch pattern.

Examples:
1680x1050
1920x1200

I messed around in the live demo on the official Bulletin site and didn't take very long to make a widescreen/high resolution friendly site. Increasing the "Message Area Width" and "Form Width" in the Style Manager is really nice. Having a 540px message input box and fixed 900px forum width when I have 1600+ pixels is a waste.

Maybe you could make a few different styles optimized for different horizontal resolutions?


Also... the option to allow the user to increase the number of posts to 50 per page instead of 40?

more than half the site is viewed at 1280x1024 or less. ( personally i use 1600x1200).

Fluid is an option for redesign but we lose out options with the headers and such so it wont be in the next one.

to be honest, any effort placed on vb styles is going to be put on an entirely new one. Thanks for your input though
