Thumbs down only referred to the item in my message and nothing else. The subject line was to get your attention. Why would that make you look bad? If someone is going to make a full fledged decision about you (or your site) from an icon and a subject line, they need to be shaken.

It is bad because you're changing someone's settings. I have my browser window set to a certain size for my own reasons. There's no reason I need to have a 1600x1200 web viewing screen. I also don't like the fact that it hides pop-ups.

If everything is shrunken and there's a horizontal scroll bar, the viewer has the choice to make their window larger.

Also, you use % in your site, so why do you need to maximize the window? It's not like you wrote the site to fit in 1024x756 absolutely, you have relative sizes which should make the site fit properly in any size window.

I'm not picking on you. The only reason I went to your site because I thought it might be interesting, but that window resizing script made me close the browser.

If you want some other people's opinion about resizing the window, check the newsgroup
