Well ever since the update i have to always scroll to the right or left to see the whole webpage.

I have my resolution as high as my monitor will allow (1024 by 768)

So i was wondering is there anything i can do to get rid of that so i don't have to scroll back and forth?  Is there an add-on or something that will eliminate this problem for me?

Also i use Google Chrome

change your resolution to 1280x1024. 1024x768 is an outdated resolution unless you have a very tiny laptop.

your other option, is to switch to FF3 or IE7 and use the zoom (ctrl+scroll mouse wheel)

1024x768, wtf never seen that before. But anyways my screen is 1280x800, and it fits perfectly. So try Nordleads advise.

pay it for us =).

actually 1024x768p still is today the most used resolution

I would but for some reason ever since i switched monitors i can't get a higher resolution than 1024x768.  My old monitor was a standard fatty older monitor (dell i think)  my newer one (which really isn't that new, got it from a friend) is a 17" westinghouse flatscreen.  i don't know why its highest resolution is so low though.

Am i doomed to forever scroll back and forth on this website?

I'm betting your monitor can handle 1280, but you've never tried or just "dont' like it". My parents do the same thing. They have a widescreen LCD with optimal resolution of 1440x900, but they set it to like 960x600 which makes it look so ugly since it really isn't made for that. I just did a check and 40% of internet users use 1024x... or lower. However, 25% of the internet users still use IE6 which is more than FF3 at 17%. In 2 years, the percentage dropped 12% on 1024x768, so hopefully it will continue to drop, as you really can't fit much of anything on a screen size that small.

Beings this is a nerdy type of website, we actually have less than 10% of visitors who use a resolution smaller than 1280x...

Also, it turns out I'm in an eliete 6% group that uses a monitor above HD of 1080P standards.

I'm assuming by flatscreen you mean LCD. 17" LCD screens are capable of 1280x1024. I guess if it is old enough it might not support it, but I don't know. Without the model number I couldn't look it up for ya.

Anyways, go to the resolution page, and then click advanced, and then List all modes. You can try setting the resolution higher in there.

oh, and I don't know what ioi has in store, but there is potential for a "lite" version of the website, but I doubt it will be coming anytime soon and I have no clue what he means by that.

EDIT: and of course, you can use FF for this website and zoom out, and that will remove your scrolling issues. You probably have multiple browsers installed anyways.

The site is working fine for me.

My monitor is 1440x900 res.

It's not just a matter of can or can't do...my 17" LCD can perfectly do 1280x1024 (in fact I use it in some games like The Sims 3 when PC can handle it), but it's simply too small for me. And I have great eye vision but I'm not the only one who uses this PC, my parents have bad eye vision, so switching to 1280 is out of the question

Zooming out works too...but it's still too small
