what is wrong with the forums?

[CompTIA_Rep]

I have a wide screen monitor but this new layout limits the width of the text box. This sucks big time!

My problem is that most of the time, the top menu bar (tg FORUMZ FAQ SEARCH PM etc) doesn't render properly on my Win XP/Firefox 2.0.0.3), appearing only as a single *column* of text along the left border. Very annoying!
Strangely enough, it renders fine in this Forum!

I mean really, who needs a monitor larger than 648x480...

Any more is overkill, and you are simply wasting your money...

I suppose the point is to get you to start running true multi-browsers running 4 browser windows on the screen at once...

QUOTE: This new forum utilizes 22% of the width of my monitor.

Hate it

 

[VBDude]

980 / .22 = 4455

What kind of monitor are you using? I'm looking for an upgrade...

 

[CompTIA_Rep]

1980 * .22 = 435.6px

So maybe abit larger, but still annoying since there is now a TON of white space.

 

[VBDude]

Yeah, but just think about how much they could make on ads. Why a single link is worth $544 /month!

 

[VBDude]

Well, if you count "This Space For Rent" signs as in use...

Also, BBCode (for bold at least) doesnt work in my sig properly. All the links in my sig should be bold.

But you can do in that format, thats what I have and it used to work. mpilchfamily did the same thing.

web site work ok for users who still use 1024x768 i guess

 

[VBDude]

I keep my favorites open on the left at all times, and slightly wider than the default. It helps a bit.

In a couple of years time all THG forums will be is advertising and a tiny little box for the discussion itself.

Holy fsck. All I can say is this is the straw that breaks this camel's back. Absolutely everything that made Tom's Hardware "Tom's Hardware" has been changed.

The articles suck, The site layout changed to what looks like a grade 5 computer science project, there isn't an area that you can go to without 1/3 of your screen being filled with irrelevent advertising, and now the forums are fscked.

Nice way to torpedo what was once the best hardware enthusiast site on the net.

Good luck pandering to the script kiddies.

interesting, the look of the forum when not logged in is horrible with huge ad space on the side. Once logged in it's mildly better. Still a long way to go to bring it back up to par with the old look though.

 

[CompTIA_Rep]

We are working on it. Stick with it and keep posting.

On my 20" LCD at 1600x1200, it fills about 70-80%. Windows XP, IE 6

Ayeee I'm so confused... I'm sure things will work out better in a bit, but right now all I can say is

This shouldn't be the case anymore as ads on the right hand side have been removed when logged-in.
