As you no doubt noticed the old banner logo is gone from the top of the forums, and in its place is a version of the button menu system used on the main classicamiga.com site.

I thought it was time to finally get rid of the old logo that had been at the top of classicamiga since 2002.

This new look better joins the main site and the forum together, now being containing the same top level navigation system. This makes it much easier to jump from the forum directly into areas of the main site, and back again to the forum. Making the whole of Classicamiga that bit closer together.

A couple of other small changes are the addition of the copyright bar at the very bottom of the forum pages, and a change to the colour, shading and shadows of the title bars throughout the site.

There is also now a restriction added to the minimum width of the forum. If you try to reduce the width of the browser window now the forum won't continue to shrink with it and become a complete mess. Instead it will stop reducing in width when it reaches the minimum width that can maintain all site structure as it should be. The site will however still expand further for those using larger screens.

There has also been some updating to other template code just to tidy it up.

I hope you like the updates.

Unfortunately the forum will not fit on the screen in ff3 in a 1024x768 screen.

Are you still stuck at 1024x768?

Average resolutions are now a bit higher than that, with 1440x900 and 1280x1024 becoming the most common.

The forum does fit on a screen that size, but with the page scrolled slightly right to remove the left-hand blue shadow, which I agree is a bit of a hassle. If I get enough people complaining that it can't be viewed on smaller displays I will have another think about the width of the site.

1074 is all my monitor can do and as I can't afford a new one and this one ain't broke (touch wood) it'll have to do until I get a job (and at the moment that should be just about before I'm due to retire) or win the lottery or find a rich widow to exploit for sexual favours.

My company recently gave away a bunch of DELL 19" CRT monitors that are capable of up to 1600px. I would've got you one if you wanted, although I don't know what the courier cost would've been to send it to you from Horsham.

I can check to see if they've got any more hanging around if you want.

That was a good move Harrison

I used the site on a laptop which does 1024x768.

Fortunately now I have a 21" monitor on my PC I use that at 1280x1024, but when I used the 17" monitor, I used that at 1024x768 as anything higher was a bit too blurry, which didn't do my eyesight any good.

I like the little icons at the top of the page, though the big amiga image will be missed.
