All you 800x600 newbies need to go to the lamestation and hop on a new train back to newsville

1024x768

jact · 02-17-2004, 10:33 PM

3200 x 1200 ( 2 x 1600x1200 ). I love dual monitors.

stocktrader23 · 02-17-2004, 10:34 PM

I'm currently on 1024 x 768 which is how I voted but I normally use 1280 x 1024.

I also show over 50% of my surfers are on higher than 800x600 now, is this the same for everyone are do some of you still have a majority of 800x in there?

stocktrader23 · 02-17-2004, 10:34 PM

Hey look, so far 10 webmasters and Smockey voted.

421Fill · 02-17-2004, 10:36 PM

It's important to know what your sites look like in 800x600 resolution, as that is what the majority of our customers use.

Here's a neat tool to help do that:

I made sure my sites were ok at 800x600 just in case Smokey and the other clueless surfers visited.

Now a newbie is someone that surfs using 800x600.

All my machines are set at 800x600 I like surfing at that resolution.

Rorschach · 02-17-2004, 10:47 PM

1280x1024 here... it's the native res of my lcd and anything else looks shitty, although I test my pages down to 800x600 to make sure they work. CSS and expandable tables are a great thing.

No but webmasters have pretty much always set higher resolutions on average. Just proving to Smokey that he's pulling number out of his ass as usual. Kind of like the $300 per day referral money from 2 weeks of his sig.

Edit: And a lot of new machines come set at 1024 / 768.

I hear you.. Maybe its time to upgrade some of my monitors (or my glasses) higher resolutions just look like shit to me (small and hard to read). Now you have me fucking with it on one of machines.

yes because thats factory default setting.. there is no way possible you can like surfing in 800x600 unless you've got eyesight problems or a 15" monitor. Or you just don't do that much work that you need to be efficient and not hitting alt tab every five seconds.
I would rather stab myself than surf at 800x600 it's just retardedly impractical, at 1280 x 1024 i have two and a half times your viewing area meaning i can be doing much more at once, like have the overture tool, a registrar, wordtracker and notepad to take down details open all at once. surfing at 800x600 is like driving with an eyepatch on.

Man it sucks at first. But once you leave it for a day 800x600 looks like a page exploded on your screen. I slowly eased mine higher and higher.

Smokey The Bear · 02-17-2004, 10:55 PM

LOL this poll is going to have a terrible flaw rate..

What with all the paid epictrash trolls to vote for anything but 800x600

HAHA

Whatever.. Most people wont even take you poll im sure so good luck finding numbers like i ran

I ran every member on gfy for 2 days...

less than 2 months ago and the numbers arent reflecting your poll.

Go figure.. I guess when you tell people what epic wants all the epic monkeys jump

Hell I guess I just got used to it. Been surfing this way since I started my main stream biz in 97ish. Hell I dont even have carpal.

Going to try some higher resolutions like stocktrader recomends to see if I can increase my productivity.

But wait...

Isn't the more relevant question, what is your browser resolution?

I cannot STAND having any windows fullscreened, what a waste of desktop real estate.

My browser window is usually around 700x800.

Rorschach · 02-18-2004, 01:25 AM

You use *nix on the desktop don't you fuzebox? What browser do you use?

I'm using Firefox at the moment at about that same resolution, I like to have lots of windows open too.

Because it's the native ratio for most lcd monitors and therefore anything else looks quite crappy.

Because on some 'quality' monitors, it does look good
