Adjusting the width of the forum

Is there any way for a user to adjust the width of the forum on his or her display? I have a widescreen monitor and there's an awful lot of dead space on the sides when I view TFP.

Thanks!

Might a bookmarklet help? (Column Width Bookmarklet)

which theme are you using?

the TFP green has a floating width as does Insignia and I-bulletin

Redlemon, I think that does the opposite by narrowing down wide pages.

How wide? My monitor is 1920x1200 and I have very little dead space at the sides on TFP.

yep that's a fixed width style...no chance of modifying it.

I'd change, but my experience at TFP is tied up with the theme somehow. The other themes just don't seem right.

Sapiens, I'm right there with you.

I've got mixed feelings though -- fromBasics has a great, strong visual taste, but I freaking hate the scroll bars when people drop large pictures in threads.

wooow Dark just got a bit chubby :P hehe

I dont mind the wide part, while the proper method would be to use set percentage of screen space on the borders. 15% | 70% | 15% etc

But in the end I dont really care as long as the forum load.

Thanks, I like it a lot better, but that's just me. I don't want to push a theme change on anyone who was perfectly satisfied with the way it was.

fromBasics Dark - format change?

What happened to the style "fromBasics Dark"? Until an hour or so ago, it was NOT a full page layout. Now it is (and it makes me sad).

okay... it's now fixed and floating...

those that want fixed... do nothing

those that want floating... choose the WIDE version.

sorry guys... needed some time to look at the template code and figure out what I needed to change and what I needed to do to make another copy of this template.
