OK... so how do I get rid of this fixed-width shit?? More than half of my screen-width is wasted, and the forum looks like absolute shit. I f**king hate it. Designers can be incredibly knuckleheaded sometimes. People are migrating en masse to widescreens and bigger resolutions, and here we have KVR flying in the face of sense, catering to 1024x768 CRTs.

f**k you, designer of this faggy new design.

...or not, please change it to something reasonable. At least give us an option of using the old design, if possible.

Well that was fun… I just clicked on Latest Posts and got this:

Man, it's just wacky world in here today…

Unfortunately I have to agree with Hunterkiller's opinion and most other's. I used to read a lot on KVR. Now, with this narrower 'ergonomical' layout, the fun is gone and I strongly feel inclined to leave KVR. Not that I would never visit KVR anymore. The layout just isn't inviting.
We need to scroll too much now so the overview is gone. It feels like reading a book with 10 characters per line.

The old look was great. Was it the advertisers who wanted another lay-out? If so think again: expect the new lay-out to loose a lot of readers and reading time ...

I would not have use these words, but I share the same fact.
If it is made for mobile devices, what a silly fashion for computer users !

oh, nevermind that. it was my 'custom dpi' setting that was causing the problem. once i set it to a windows preset it was fine.

More importantly, it has sizes specified in px rather than em, so people like myself who increase the font size (in firefox using ctrl-+ on the pc for example) depending on website, to help their poor eyesight, have to suffer, because the elements overlap.

So I have a nice 24" screen, which I already had to increase font size on, only to find that now only 1/3rd of it is being used and if I resize ii then everything goes out of sync.

Please, if nothing else, give us a profile option to have the old theme back.

I like the design change. All I use is Firefox with a script blocker.

The design looks clean and is aesthetically appealing to me.

I have a 24" wide screen flat panel. I have a lot of grey space on each side of the forum. I don't mind it though/yet.

Hate it! The right column is now found by scrolling way down below!

IMO you're shooting to the wrong target. I'm using 1024x768 CRT and having also overlaps and visual unballancing. I think the main problems are the fixed size of the divs and the layout charging to the left (plus font size for me). The question is not moving the layout to higher resolutions but everyone been comfortable, and that means a liquid and relative design.

i wonder if all this change is just to cater for the iphone?

The new layout seems quite a bit bugged and I feel disorientated.. so I vote for the safe return of the old layout. After all, if it works - why change it!

When I'm looking at a thread, the "latest posts" column is underneath everything else (not alongside it)

Driving me nuts!
