@G. Gordon Gator I just made a change on page width - I think it will fill in those side gaps.

Unfortunately, to me, it's much harder to read and use at this width.. Maybe just me

 

[GatorBart]

I don't like change.

The Home pull-down is the bee's knees. I may never leave.

 

[oxrageous]

@ThreatMatrix I owe you for that idea. I'm too dumb to have thought of it.

Fellas, I ended the edge to edge screen width and made it fixed, although a bit wider than before. If you're like me, I can't read anything at 100% on Chrome, so I zoom in. This page is zoomed in at 200% at Chrome for me and looks great.

@Jack o' Diamonds you need to utilize zooming in your browser.

 

[oxrageous]

Here is what I see on desktop Chrome at 200%:

 

[Durty South Swamp]

yeah its really looking sharp now with a lot of great features.

will we have more christmas balls this winter? and will you jingle them?

Yeah, checked it out..Was set at 80%... Set it at 100 and much better....DUH...

So I use some Gatorchatter ap (not a browser) on my Samsung phone and my Apple Ipad. So far the only difference I note is that the reactions counts tally beyond five. Other than that, they look and work exactly the same as before. I don't see the orange circle on the phone or Ipad.

I am used to both so not really an issue, but is there some sort of upgrade I should install to better use the new format?

@Treebeard You're using Tapatalk, which is just a simplified browser that hundreds of forums use. Go to your web browser on your phone and type in Gatorchatter - use the actual website.

There's certainly no reason to ever use the app on an iPad. Sometimes it's easier on a phone.

Quite a difference, eh?

Boo. Some of us actually use massive screens at times. Leaving it immensely wide allows X2 to adjust to whatever screen the user is viewing, even down to small mobile devices. By limiting it, you leave big blue bars on each side of the wasted space. But I get what you're saying - use the zoom function....and then it fks with every other site you have on other tabs. Not your best decision. But I'll cut you some slack because I know the headache this whole thing can be at times.

Total nonsense TLB. When I change my zoom settings on Chrome, it ONLY effects that particular site, none of the others. It ain't 1998 anymore.

You M'fer....that is now TWICE this week, and it is only Wednesday, where you have corrected me with reality. I yield.

In my ..experience, if you right click launch a link to a new tab off the zoomed one, the launched tab retains that zoom effect. But that's so damn weak I'm not even gonna consider offering it as a defense.

Yeah, that's the way it was 20 years ago. Browsers have evolved, old hoss.

@Treebeard, plus there's this little width toggle button right next to the style picker. You can use that to make it wider or narrower between to presets.

I don't know what it is on the desktop, but I also go directly to the site using an app - it is just titled Gatorchatter in the app list. I have been using it over the direct browser for quite some time, mainly because my browsers (Chrome or Edge) seemed to not show a number of the pictures/gifs/jpegs. The app seemed to work better.

All of the new board features are working on desktop as described in these threads.
