the later and more optimistic survey shows only 26%+- could view this page properly.
all my PC's have 22" screens with a resolution width of 1440 pixels. kinda defeats the purpose of getting a bigger screen when all the fonts are teeny tiny. only gamers really need the massive resolutions.
i go to other forums with crazy 500 width resolution arbitrary restrictions on images ... i keep pleading for at least an 800. they won't give way. that's why i'm very thankful this forum doesn't even have a restriction (but it would be nice to self police on what's really necessary)
