May 21, 2008 6:48:25 Say what you want about the Gleemax 2.0 screen, but there is at least one thing it does right, IMO, it's centred in the middle of the screen.

Using variable width at large resolutions means the topic names are too far separated from the other information, and with variable width turned off the boards occupy only a small amount of space on the left of the screen (at 1920x1200).

Is there a feature I've missed that'll centre all the skins, and if not (and other people agree with me), could the skins be changed so that they are centred?

I use "parchment and leather" and I've never had any problems.

IMAGE(http://www.dragon-above.com/images/centredforums.jpg)

Picture 1 is the Gleemax 2.0 skin nicely centred
Picture 2 is a D&D board with variable width turned on
Picture 3 is a D&D board with variable width off
Picture 4 is what I'd like to see

May 22, 2008 9:48:11 Heh. In this case, a picture isn't worth diddly. My employer blocks Image Shack.

But hopefully the images help the powers-that-be determine a solution for you. Mostly, I was just bringing you thread up to the top without actually bumping it.

I've rehosted it onto my own site, so it should be visible now.

Thanks for the not-quite-a-bump, though

Oddly, I prefer (and have) what's shown in picture 2. Even still, I'm all in favor of options, so if this is something that can be implemented as an option, I hope they accommodate you.
