Personally, I prefer the old style, but I’m a taurus, born on an Ox year…LoL…call me stubborn.
I know you have plans Q, you have a vision for this forum in your head. I trust it will all come together in the end. Uh oh…I feel a ‘Matrix’ quote coming on…
Omg, I just watched The Matrix yesterday!
I don’t like that concept. o_0 Anyways, a bit better, but I still miss the old layout… no offenses. Perhaps I just need to get used to it. 
damn school making it double up plz delete
lol well i must say i did about 10 rt like everyone else. if that was your goal then u did that right 
'anyway it may look diffrent but i dont mind it tooo much. i kinda like it actually. it does seem kinda cramped tho. so yer umm still not half. but next time WARNINGS lol i triped out 
unless you have and i am too blind to have seen it

I like the new layout. Since I use 1024x768, the old format just left space on either side of the forum, where now it takes advantage of the entire screen. People still using 800x600 aren’t being taken into consideration anymore – as they shouldn’t be! 
Anyway, the forum itself is unchanged, the only difference is the positioning of the forum info, and couple of the shortcuts. It’s just as easy to navigate, only I don’t need to scroll all the way down to see who’s logged on. I say give it a chance.
That is not the LD4all type attitude, now is it? 
I’m sure your video card has more RAM than some visitors whole system. 
Considering that some visitors have no computer at all this is very true DreamAddict:)
Had another look at 1024 X 768 res.
Hmm…I guess it does look fairly neat.
Still, will take me a while to get used to… 
800 X 600 looks too squishy!!
Me thinks I need a better bigger monitor!
I can only get 16 bit high colour on 1024X768…not that I can see much of a difference between that and 32 bit true colour!
Fey~
I have the same problem reality?..failure! and with my new digital camera I notice artifacts in my images in 16-bit color. I really need 32-bit color to see it as is. Which is only available in 800X600.
I also only have a 15-inch monitor that makes the small text of this forum hard on the eyes.
Like Jack mentions, some people visit using Internet terminals from internet cafes. Or other means
FYI, I’ve found the forum’s stats and was actually surprised at the high numbers of 1024 X 768 visitors.
1024x768 has been the industry standard for designing software and commercial webpages for at least 3 years. Most of the people I know (granted I belong to a rather technical group) run their systems significantly higher than that still.
I find it hard to believe your system wouldn’t support that resolution, unless it was simply a limitation of your monitor (indicating that it’s at least 7 years old, and should be replaced anyway).
Here’s a tip for anyone reluctant to use 1024 for fear of text becoming too small to read: Go to “View->TextSize>Large” (or whatever the option is called in non-IE browsers). Or, if you’ve got a mouse with a scroll wheel, hold ‘CONTROL’ on the keyboard and move the wheel up and down to change font size. You should then have no problem seeing the text.
If your computer doesn’t allow you to view 1024x768 at 32-bit color, it means that your video card doesn’t have the required 3.1 MB (1024x768x4 (bytes)) of memory to buffer the display. Most people wouldn’t tell the difference between 16 and 32-bit while surfing the web anyway, though.
Not my favorite. I have a 1280 x 1024 Browser and this layout is weird. The new topics are hard to see, same with online people, and its just all weird 
I dont really like it.
That’s never worked on this forum for me Atheist. I use IE, and the text size can’t be changed in the lower frame from the method you mention.
I understand you work in the technological field, but not all visitors to a dream forum. It’s just not feasible to suggest people to upgrade when some are lucky to have 1 computer or other means of internet access.
Heh, I replace hardware once it completely dies. Not when a new model is released.
Hmm, you’re right. Damn frames.
I guess if it’s actually a problem, you can just set the font size in Windows display settings, which applies to everything. I’m assuming there’s an equivilent option for Mac/*nix users.
Anyway, I just jammed my poor system down into 800 for a moment to see how the main page displayed, and it’s not actually that bad. I just assumed it would require excessive scrolling given that it completely fills the screen in 1024. It might just be this browser, but it seems to take your current resolution into account to optimize the display.
Like Q said, suggestions are more useful than just “I don’t like it”. 
I don’t think it’s bad I love the RC button 
I was posative I was dreaming there for a while!
well I like the new style
I see style has been changed a little again
Starting to like it better now
Because its more similar to what it was before:)I suggest we keep going in this direction:)
lol
Well i wont move my thumb upwards yet lol
I think the concept is less clear and has less overview then before.
Plusses are the dream reminder cue witch is fun!
Maybe visual line harmonisation could give it more or a better balance.
Meaning i dont find it in balance yet.
But any change needs to sink in also so i wait a few days and judge it again then…lol
Jeff
I agree with Jeff. It makes everything feel more overcrowded than before. I really love the hozitional buttons like it was before it changed. But yes, I do like the RC button. Perhaps you can work something out. I think the nagivation buttons at the top like it was before is the best. I’m very used to it, but I guess I’ll wait and see.
