We did that once already, when 1280x1024 was the thing, and I think after that we decided it was just going to be an unending arms race. I mean, if I go and optimize them all for HD, next thing you know someone's got a 4K display and the whole thing starts again. There has to come a point where the answer is "don't maximize the window." That said, I'll think about one more expansion, just to set the baseline at HD rather than in no-man's-land where it is now. Yes, I know that contradicts what I just said. :) --G. -><- Benjamin D.

FYI, I do have a 4K screen, but I'm also not dumb/egotistical enough to expect you to cater to it. Besides, I got the screen so I could have more usable windows visible, not just one giant web browser :) Offsides [...] in order to be a realist you must believe in miracles. -- David Ben Gurion EPU RCW #π #include <stdsig.h> |

LAST EDITED ON Oct-16-16 AT 11:45 AM (EDT) Potential CSS-based quick fix: addstyle="background-repeat: repeat-y; max-width: 1580px"
to the BODY tag of each page. That makes the image repeat vertically but not horizontally. There will be a BGCOLOR=-colored expanse to the right of it. EDIT: You want the max-width thing too; that stops the Forum in particular from stretching past the size limit, which is gonna look terrible regardless of whether the image repeats horizontally. |

(yes, 2½ years later, I'm finally getting around to actually addressing this—what can I say, I'm old and crap) This is a good suggestion which I should totally do, but difficult to implement, since as the website is currently set up, I have to pester someone else to make changes like this to the Forum (as opposed to story files, which I can adjust whenever). I'll probably try it at some point, though. In the meantime, I've increased the width of the static background image of the Forum to 4800, which should be far, far wider than any reasonable human being will ever try to make the thing. If you want it wider than that, the problem is with you, not the site. :) (Other backgrounds may get adjusted in a bit—there are a lot of them, so it may take a while to summon sufficient will to live.) --G. -><- Benjamin D.
