I was thinking about 1024x768 as basic measure. The forum would still fit in 800x600 but not the rest of the site. Are there people out there that still use this ancient 800x600 resolution? If you don't have a choice but to use 800x600 then scream out now or forever hold your breath __ If you find spam on the site, please hit the button and select my name.

Therefore people should run @ 1280*960, which is 4:3, and the resolution I vote for No, 1024*768 will be fine! __ "In dnb you should make people jump not swim" - Pieter Frenssen 2004 15-05-2003 08:57 psychomat Cool Steppa Registration Date: 16-11-2002 Posts: 221 This is liek total chninesefor me __ Sex and drugs and drum and bass!!! 15-05-2003 09:21 Azer Easy Player Registration Date: 15-11-2002 Posts: 747 Helpfulness rating:  1024*768 will do __ 15-05-2003 09:38 boognish Player Registration Date: 01-11-2002 Posts: 291 Helpfulness rating:  the stats show that more than 65% uses 1024*768 and only 14% 800*600 looks like 1024*768 is the way to go 15-05-2003 13:25 thechronic admin Registration Date: 01-11-2002 Posts: 5,293 Helpfulness rating:  quote: Originally posted by Surya You put 1280*1024 in the list... which is in fact a 'wrong' resolution since it's not 4:3, as 800*600... giving a deformed image.
