The entire page. The thread width will modify itself automatically. Also, maybe you can dial in a max width/height for peoples avatars. Some peoples av's are so big, they block out site features, or break site layout. I sat on here a few weeks ago trying all kinds of different sizes with my av, and 150 px max is perfect! 150px width/height, any which way of course.

Also, the folders that indicated new posts, read posts, etc should be a little more defined than they are now. They all look nearly identical. :)

How does it look now.

Not only would I like to limit the avatars, but some of the signatures get in the way, too.

I just noticed something went wrong with the margin adjustment. I'll look into it.

Hey guys thanks for staying up late and working on this stuff. Very interesting that the different styles don't all incorporate the same features. Get some sleep and thanks again.

I like the big avatars and I guess the pics in my sig are bit large but they sure allow you to be an individual! Do what you need to make it legible for everyone though. The link "Everyone deserves to be outdoors!" works great, I feel special! :mrgreen: :geek:

Thanks again.

OK, it's set to 90%.

When I had it at 80%, did you notice the topic review was hanging over the border on the right side? Whoever created the style didn't use CSS only, they had styles embedded into the HTML. It makes it harder to determine what is causing the problem.

Anyway, at 90% the problem isn't there.

How do you like it now?

Sorry, Scott, but by fixing the style I broke your signature. Try scaling the pictures to fit the area.

Hey, the forum ate my post! :x Oh well dang, forget it now, im not typing that whole thing all over again. Anyway, how about making this new theme the default for the forum? Its a huge step toward all the "image" crap ive been bickering about. At least you guys wont have to read my complaints about the look anymore :lol: :roll: :mrgreen:

Scott: Your signature was overflowing the borders on the right.

Dave: Each user can choose their own style. The default was chosen from the original style provided by phpBB. It will probably be the one that is modified with the final colors, images, etc. since it is based on what the designers of phpBB had intended. The SoftGreen style is a contributed style and I am finding that it is inconsistent in how it uses styles and stylesheets.
