no, i am at 1280x1024 as well. maybe it's a browser issue? i'm using opera 8.53. the decision of the PtB to not offer basic stylesheets so that people can change to colours and font sizes that don't hurt their eyes bothers me a lot (stacey said in the community forum that yeah, it was "fun" to change colours, but it'll just take a little while to get used to the new forums -- i suggest people with vision issues express their opinion of how "fun" it is to have one's eyes burn). choosing branding over usability is just ... foolish. the lack of BBcode doesn't bother me at all, on the other hand. i prefer sites use html instead of other coding solutions. they want to re-sell the forum software? rolls eyes. a less-capable phpbb imitation is needed by whom exactly?
