design versus screen size

I know I don't have a joe average screen, and there are sites that prefer to limit the content area by tables, frames or CSS. I've never liked that approach and here's why not. This is just an example of how sites can look on the 3007FWP:

Jeez that really does look awful :eek: I notice you're using FireFox.... Does the same happen in IE6? Cheers

hehe. use Opera and its zoom feature! use 200% or 300% zoom and you'll get zoomed text and images unlike other browser that just increase the text size.

Thanks for the confirmation. I was interested because I read in a newspaper article a few weeks ago, that very few businesses had configured their web sites to run/display correctly on non IE web browsers. Cheers

That is one reason why I don't want a wide-screen monitor.

I have two 2005fpw's I fliped one length wise for easier reading with sites like that. though with a 30" monitor it probably woldn't help too much.

i get the same on a lot of sites just using a high resolution 4:3 monitor. @doom9 You should switch to thunderbird to :P :D Regards cyph

bah :/ That makes sense, i must admit i never even noticed no outbox :) but as you must of guessed i dont use multiple accounts :) It did take me a whiel to switch over even using 1 mail account due to the lack of import / export features. also there is no feature for amalgamating messages. Regards cyph

Have you tried Opera for e-mail? It has an Outbox for starters, and I use it with 2 IMAP accounts and a POP3 account (Gmail) with no problems. It's a bit annoying that there's no dedicated inbox/sent mail folders for POP accounts but it's very easy to make filters for them. I used Thunderbird as some research for my friend's HCI project in college, and found it quite lacking in comparison. I really hate Firefox's and Thunderbird's over-relying on external plugins for any sort of decent functionality...
