www.CodeProject.com site layout [modified]
-
Hi, Recently CodeProject team has changed www.CodeProject.com site layout. It wouldn't be a problem but after the change I cannot see most of the articles without using horizontal scrollbar (display: 1024x768). Also plenty of articles cannot be printed (without truncating) in portrait A4. And this is in both IE and Firefox. Is it something with my settings or every one else has the same problem too? Cheers, Oleg P.S. I hope CodeProject guys read this post, in case it is a real layout problem. -- modified at 18:39 Thursday 24th August, 2006

Are these edited or unedited articles?

Hi Chris, I think you guess is right. The worst offenders are unedited articles. This is what I found very quickly when using IE: The articles, which cannot be viewed in whole even if the IE is maximized. http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/DLL_as_Embedded_Resource.asp (unedited) http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/Expressions.asp (unedited) The articles, which can be viewed in whole but only if the IE is maximized: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/dbadoc.asp (unedited) http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/NARLoader.asp http://www.codeproject.com/threads/RmThread.asp I believe that you cannot warranty consistent layout for unedited articles. So there is nothing wrong with what you are doing. But probably it would be more convenient for the readers if "MinimalWidth" is set to lower value in the CodeProject article templates, which is to be used by the cotributors for the future articles. It is applicable for edited articles too, as current layout does require to keep browser maximised all the time. Thank you in advance, Oleg

I just checked these 2 on 1024x768 and neither of them scrolled. I am using IE6. [edit]Just re-read your post. 1024 x 768 is the minimum resolution we support now. So if that's your screen res and IE is not maximized, chances are that IE is set to a lower width and hence the scrolling[/edit] -- modified at 8:13 Thursday 24th August, 2006

Well, 1024x768 on a 17" or larger CRT or a 15" or larger LCD is not that bad.
