Default Please shorten the width of the forum

It appears the forum (messages, message list, etc) doesn't have a fixed width. On a 22" screen it's a little cumbersome to read an entire paragraph on one line.

800px would be perfect.

And what would happen to those of us with proper sized screens?

The length is perfect for me, and if it's right for me, it's right for you.

If it was a fixed width it would look the same on everybody's screen.



That's not terribly easy to read.

Usually ideas that can be fixed user end are recommended to be fixed user end.

Things that are genuinely not the server's or the administrator's problems are not handled by the server or the administrator.

They will not do things that look like catering to each individual user.

Shrink the size of your internet browser window so it doesn't take up the entire width of your screen. I keep mine at about half width and it works great! (No need to keep the window maximized.)
