I know the pages are wider than they used to be...but I'm still not liking the width. I was wondering with the new design, can we create a page that has 100% width and not a set amount of pixels?
Right now, it looks like the pages are 708 pixels wide...which gives a 46 pixel border to users with 800x600 resolution. However, almost no one uses 800x600 anymore. In January 2006, the number was 20% of users using 800x600. In January 2007, the number shrank to 14%. One year later, in 2008, it went down to 8% and is now around 3% to 4%.
What I'm saying here is that resolutions are continually rising, and to keep up we should do a 100% width...so it can work with someone who uses 400x300 resolution (ouch!) or 1920x1080. IMHO, it'd be the best for the new design.

The width of the design depends on the width of the menu system. Right now, Gary had asked that I make it as interoperable with as many users and clients as possible, I chose 708px. It uses fixed widths, not based on percentages. Using percentages would break many of the key parts that make the site run the way it does. I honestly have no plans to change the width any time soon as I am happy with the design the way it is :)

It's way too thin for me. I'll just use greasemonkey.
