i've found out myspef much to my dismay that heavily skinned sites do not resize very well, as the graphics start breaking up on a font change larger than medium.

I see that you forum home has the cats all the width of the page so this can work around a specific size such as the post bits.

Did you ever work on a fixed size for your categories smaller than the width of the page?

Overall a very excellent design. Your forums inspired me to make a huge effort in producing a fully skinned forum, although I had to the post bit I had made due to the resizing issues.

Do you get graphic wrapping and breaking up problems for the post bit when large pictures are used in the [img] tags or do you disallow these tags? I noticed the post bit breaks up on font sizes larger than medium.

you have to make your post bit strechable, you cant just set it for pixel sizes, you need to use percents and you wont have this problem

in a fixed size forum this does not work tho.

the text size as i stated warps your post bit, on your forums.

have you been able to make the background graphics for each table stretch? merely setting the tables to 100% stretches the tables only not the inserted background graphic that makes up the skin.


If I were to post a 1024 x 768 desktop picture within your postbit are you saying that it wouldn't affect the graphics of your postbit?

I ask this because the answer eluded me for hours and in frustration gave up. If you have been able to do this i would like to know how as a font size change does warp the graphics.
