I get the same thing (Running 1600x1200) half of the screen is empty. In IE it's fine.

It is some rather messy (and not entirly valid) XHTML code though. There seems to be a lot of javascript browser checking which seems rather unnessecary though. :-\

This is my shot of firefox
size is 1024, 768

I have the same "problem", Wolfy. I wouldn't worry about it. As I have said, ASP was designed to be used with IE if memory serves, so it would logical that it would have problems with non-MS browsers.

Chips - Bah! Enough off this witty repartee!

i have the same problem How do you take screenshots

Hit the Print Sceen button on your keyboard, Open Ms paint and click edit and click past. The chose "save as" and pick Jpeg as it is smaller and save. Reopen the pic and downsize it. Easy.

I thought the link to the existing topic regarding this subject in the feedback forum would have given you all a chance to look, so here we go - the long and short.

its not the main page that is the problem - click on 'commodities' or 'ships' or any of those parts, and you get a thin column, with the text wrapped into a tall thin column down the middle, and a large amount of space to waste.....

Most webpages are set for viewing optimisation at 800x600, or more commonly 1026x768. About 98% of users have that setting, so surfing on 1600x1200 could lead to many sites having many problems - they don't have to cater for everything.
If you maximise the window at that setting, then I am affraid its your choice, and it shouldn't be put onto website makers to try and sort everything out for you - simply put there is a limit where they can accomodate everything! True - using width settings as percentages can remove that, but it still leaves problems with presentation looks etc.

Its almost like the width of the <td> tags or <table> tags are done incorrectly - but its not that simple. The site is in asp, which i know nothing of - so I don't know if its got the equiv of php includes on the pages or not - just don't know

Don't even get me started....there's EXACTLY 1542 reasons why the TLR homepage will have problems in various browsers. This website is not W3C compliant and it certainly does not pass the Bobby Standards tests....not even 508. I'm actually quite suprised that with the popularity of the site you don't get more complaints.

<grumble>

I've offered my services in the past to sort out the template but I was just flatly ignored. Accessibility people, accessibility.

</grumble>

actually, Taw has resigned permanently from TLR, he (and i) have found the
escape hatch.

I leave the door open to all you TLR'ers and invite you to follow us
(I especially invite you Esquilax-rabbit).

When Bargib retired, TLR really died, its just not a fun place to hang around
anymore...

there are too many Mods, who i belive, outnumber the regulars.

to know where I went, E-mail me...

So long TLR...

that is sad...true, i do think there are more mods than regulars, but you leave for a terrible reason.

and this is spamming my topic nonetheless!

Ahhhh!!! I guess I entered this thread at the wrong time...

Why is Aod using Taw's account?!! ...and why is noone mad Arc seems to be the only one in here that cares...besides me of course

well...there really isnt anything we can possibly do to change their minds

Aod, if he's still hanging out, has Taw's permission to use his account.

i'm deleting the account in about 5 minutes.
if anyone wants it before then, the u/n, p/w are
***Edit: wow, how mature of you! Please do delete it if you want!***
