Learn CSS, please. The thing is so tiny in width, I cannot stand to even read it. And the colors are a little too much the exact same.

Greyish text on greyish background isn't the prettiest.

Not bad. Don't forget to add a Doctype declaration at the top

I actually like the look of it, but Miney is right, it's just be hipper without the table elements.

I just want it to fill out my browser, instead of 70% dead space.

Which means I should fix my site...

Hmm...

I actually like how it looks. If it'd fill whole browser space it would look gay.

Notice that most portal systems have somekind of table with lots of links and stuff on the left and right side of the main table which contains news and stuff like that. Since there's no such things in that page, why not just keep them empty so people aren't shocked about the different look?

Also the color them is nice.

hi

yeah, i agree with liito.

I changed the coulour of the text, it's a bit darker now, i woner how you like it.
White would look gay in my opinion(attachment)

btw, i fixed the thing, that everything is in center in Interent Explorer. So if you use IE it should look better now

Mine GO BOOM how do you like that:
http://sstimes.romenov.com/wide.htm

Smong · Posted: Sun Feb 22, 2004 11:00 am *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

Too wide, I have to scroll horizontally in IE.
Could you make your sig. shorter?

I like it a lot how it is now. For those with low-res, why don't you make the width of your table a % instead of a set pixel value?

Smong · Posted: Sun Feb 22, 2004 12:21 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

800x600

pixelsoft · Posted: Sun Feb 22, 2004 12:24 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

that's very small, i even didn't know that there are still some people who use a resolution, which is lower than 1024x768...
well.. yeah, i'll probably do it with percents instead of pixels

Smong · Posted: Sun Feb 22, 2004 12:27 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

Well, I find the icons and text are too small in any higher res. My monitor is supposed to be 17" but is probably like 16" viewable (I should really get a TFT and someone subpixel partitioning software or something).

Mine GO BOOM · Posted: Sun Feb 22, 2004 1:30 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

Want to know why I dislike the width? Look at the images. The original.png is your original link. The wide.png is the 'wider' version. The percent is me changing the width=800 to 90%, and the width=750 to 95%.

Learn CSS, its pretty simple. You could then use div tags, and make this a lot more flexable for those with larger resolutions, but still keep the original spacing in the middle for things such as the links on the top. And it will allow you to do constant spacing between the 'news' section and the outside table frame.

Wow, I've been a trillian user for years, but now I think it has it's match. Can't beat freeware.

<- miranda user.

Its pretty good. AIM still overtakes it if you leave it installed and forces miranda to disconnect from AIM.

Bonus is you can add your own SS chat protocol into it. I did that once (hacked the BNet chat client), but now I never use SS anymore.

Of course, required sysop/smod to enter a zone and stay in, too lazy to add checkcums to it. Thats the advantage of open source.
