Invision Community 5: A video walkthrough creating a custom theme and homepage By Matt Thursday at 04:02 PM
Jυra Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 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.

Jaggi Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 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.
Olivier Turbis Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 You can make it 500px wide if you want. IPS just suggests that in the CSS.
Martin A. Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 It better not be true, most people use 1024
Jaggi Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 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.
beeman Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 hah my res aint in m4rtin's little list /me uses 1440x900
Feneroin Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 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
Mert Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 I think we're off the topic now. BTW 1680x1050 rocks!!! :P
Mark Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 1680x1050 would look pretty dodgy on my monitor...
Stallyon Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 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.

It really depends on what size of the screen most people have.And how good their video card is.
Millar Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 And how good their video card is. Doesn't take much of a video card to render that. :)
Jaggi Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 mines 1680x1050 and i can say that ipb3 looks fine on my monitor :D .
Olivier Turbis Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 mines 1680x1050 and i can say that ipb3 looks fine on my monitor :D . Right..
Mark Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 mines 1680x1050 and i can say that ipb3 looks fine on my monitor :D . 481 ;)
Brandon D Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 1920x1200 :wub: I don't typically have my browser maximized though, and I always have my bookmarks bar open.
bfarber Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 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:

DustinRyan Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 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.
Jυra Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 Just as long as everything isn't jumbled together...
