Could you please adapt the css file of the forum to include a max-width?
#container {
margin: 0 auto;
padding-top: 3em;
max-width: 900px;
}
This will narrow the forum improving readability.

Fixed width is the devil. If people want narrow width, they can narrow the window their browser is in.

a max-width of 900px is also rather small these days. I agree that readability might improve, but we would get in trouble with skinners posting their screenshots on such a small width.
Depending on your browser there might be some addon to add custom CSS styles. But maybe I can make the max-width configurable in the user profile (or even easier do it all in the template via a cookie and JS). Will look at it if I have some sparetime, but I might forget about it, so drop a reminder.

Why would you have ANY browser window that wide?

I agree with fixed width is the devil I didn't buy a 27 inch screen to just have a forum take up 50% of my maximized window if you find stuff too wide then resize your window and it will be fine for all the sites you visit

We kinda came to that point already......
Usability has improved for me (imho), others don't like a max-width. Hope da-anda can build an option so people can have the choice. It won't matter for me anymore, but would be nice for other users who will use this forum with more joy cause a maximum

1.) i could but this discussion was kinda ended so I don't see the point
2.) I was asking for a max-width attribute so your comment about fixed-size is not valid
3.) I was planning to change it cause of that, but nobody cares for the stuff under it (according to the stats). Maybe some day I will work at it again but don't really feel like it atm.

While you buy the second one, take a 800x600 for legacy games and a 200" for movies hehe.
@da-anda: I work with two myBB forums, should I give it a try and submit the code?
