Title: Famcraft web site layout
Post by: WarehouseAgent on March 11, 2016, 05:43:31 PM
This may have been asked and answered before, but I couldn't easily locate a thread on it. Apologies if this is a repeat.

Has any consideration ever been given to altering the layout of the web site? There's an awful lot of wasted real estate on both sides of the browser. I realize this is a kind of design that's fairly popular, but in an information-heavy site like this one, it seems a shame to squeeze the actual information into artificial boundaries.

I especially notice this on the forums, where posts with attachments are tricky to read, and it's not easy to view some of the beautiful screenshots people post without awkwardly sidescrolling.

This isn't to say that the site isn't well-designed; it's a great-looking site. Just something I've noticed and wondered about.

The layout is really standard for many many forums. We have not customized much of the website to keep compatibility for all of our forum plugins, and to keep it looking roughly the same for most players. We also don't want a lot of information/clutter on the sides, and making it an information overload.

You can also zoom out by holding CTRL and scrolling down. You can also zoom in or out by clicking on the three horizontal lines in the top right corner of Google Chrome and click the +/- sign.
