Who really gives a FCUK about how it looks "REALLY" - It's about content & the people - just cos you have 2 grey panels

Who Really Gives A SH!T....

Bob does. :grin:

Wooahaha, really feeling the love there bob23.

Tell you what, have a little read of articles like http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2009/06/02/fixed-vs-fluid-vs-elastic-layout-whats-the-right-one-for-you/ and http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/fixedvsrelative.shtml

Then do some research into browser resolutions across today's very varied device and browser platforms.

Think about things such as how easy it is for users on high resolutions to use the browser zoom feature versus how annoying it is on small res screens to have to scroll about the place. Ponder the expansion of tablet devices and how even they have wildly different graphics resolution. It goes without saying that you need to allow for a plethora of mobile devices but I am sure that was obvious to you.

Next, look at SMF2 themes, build yourself a test website and try out different designs. Remember you are likely to need to customise extensively, perhaps even contract out some of this work.

When all that is done, come back and present your design conclusions. How long do you need?

All done, worked it out, my conclusion is, Wait for it....... How it used to be :wink:

Ah funk it. Bob23 took too long in his research. I did my own and made some changes.


Sorry was at work, only had internet for about an hour while people were on site, home now and off out again.

I was not sure to start with but the more I use it the more I like it, it is much easier on the eyes.
