So, I literally cannot browse this forum on my netbook. It's stretched about 50% too wide; I have to sidescroll to read every single post of more than a few words.
I don't give a dang about all the other complaints about style; this is entirely a technical issue. Drop the fixed width and make the forum resizable, or make a compact skin, please. 1224 is kinda ridiculous for a fixed width; not everyone uses desktops.
Thanks.
It's not just netbooks, have you tried reading this on an iPhone? AHG.
Even normal laptops are a problem. What if you want more than one window open? Isn't "test it on 640x480" like Webdesign 101?
This. Did anyone test this on different resolutions?
The script in my sig fixes some of the fixed-width components -- not the top bar, but all the forum parts.
Enjoy, -- N
I won't spend much time here before they fix resolution... it's horrible 
I hadn't noticed this, since I have a widescreen, but I agree...
I'm a total newbie with designing websites, but for the 2 or 3 I've written up, even _I_ knew to check it on low res!
It's a problem for me on my netbook at 1024x600px.
Even more of a problem on the iPhone, won't be accessing during a game then.
I wonder if onesite have a simple compact theme that the WotC web guys could just drop in?
Space between paragraphs is rediculously big as well!
So yeah, several days now. Effort required to change: A few small CSS fixes, est time 2 minutes. Effort invoked: 0.
Beginning to highly doubt there will ever be a variable width or even 'compact mode' skin.

800x600 is the current "standard" I generally see.
I do have to say that even on a desktop the forum is unusually wide. Even on my iMac I keep my viewport around 1024 wide so I have a space beside my browser to put a video, a status bar, IM client, or really just any other task that I want to be monitoring at the same time, and I had to make my window wider in order to get rid of the scroll bar.
And it's borderline unusable on an iPhone.
I just shrunk my viewport to where penny-arcade just loses it's horizontal scroll bar, and it's terrible. I'm short space by almost 1/3 of this site.
I've got a decent sized monitor, but in portrait orientation. So I can't read this silly messageboard properly either :-(
