Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted October 25, 200816 yr I was told by someone that IPS suggests a minimum of 960px for the width of a forum layout. I'd like to know if that's true and if IPB 3 will be more fixed friendly.

October 26, 200816 yr as always the layout is made to be elastic so it should resize with your browser however its designed to work optimally at 1024+ res.
October 26, 200816 yr What evidence do you have to back that up with? From Google Analytics Out of 102 267 visits; 38.01% are using 1280x800 18.62% are using 1280x1024 17.19% are using 1024x768 6.08% are using 1680x1050 well thers no problem if ppl are using a larger res.
October 26, 200816 yr hah my res aint in m4rtin's little list /me uses 1440x900Me also :) i use 1440x900 with new monitor since yesterday :D Before my monitor was 1280x1024
October 26, 200816 yr Most people use 1280 x 800 particularly if it's widescreen. On my little 15.4" Widescreen laptop I use 1280 x 800, but on my desktop, which has dual 24" Dell 2408WFP LCDs, I have them at 1920 x 1200. It really depends on what size of the screen most people have.

October 26, 200816 yr And how good their video card is. Doesn't take much of a video card to render that. :)
October 26, 200816 yr 1920x1200 :wub: I don't typically have my browser maximized though, and I always have my bookmarks bar open.
October 27, 200816 yr Ok, ok.... Officially, we only support 1024x768 or higher. The main problem area(s) are the profile, the portal, and the messenger (not all content can fit on smaller resolutions). The site will work at any resolution, but you'll have stuff falling over to new lines and not looking very good. The official resolution for v3 will also be 1024x768. By that, we mean that you shouldn't report skin bugs that only occur on resolutions smaller than this.

I know about stuff not fitting and not looking good, it's IPS' fault I had to switch from 800x600 to 1024x768. :lol:
December 6, 200816 yr I know about stuff not fitting and not looking good, it's IPS' fault I had to switch from 800x600 to 1024x768. :lol: Wish I had known this before I purchased my custom header is only 800px wide and looks stupid sitting on top of this thing that gets wider on window resize.... =S
December 6, 200816 yr I think we're off the topic now. BTW 1680x1050 rocks!!! :P Indeed it does. But as many people have mentioned, 800x600 is old stuff. Technology evolves, and so must people. 800x600 is basically obsolete nowadays. Even 1024x768 isn't too common. If some people don't like IP .Board not looking right on really low resolutions, then just use a higher resolution. It actually makes things look better, and you can fit more things on a screen, too! Bitter.
