Hey guys,

Just a suggestion because this site looks really wide and stretched on my display...

Any chance of containing it to a specific max-width, e.g. 1024px or something reasonable?

Fine here.;)

Running 1280x800, on an iMac 24".

My resolution is a bit bigger, 3200 x 1200.

That's pretty wide. What monitor do you have?

Seems like just about any site would look strange (or have a lot of whitespace if it did have a width constraint) at 3200 pixels. Why not run your browser at less than full screen size?

It would be far more reasonable for you to make your browser window narrower. It's best the way it is now.

I've just dugg out a very inferior 21" and am working on a dual display instead. Doesn't seem toooo bad on 1600 x 1200. At least I can watch Top Gear on the other one.

And, I can't stand restored windows. Personal thing. But still I seriously think it'd be a good idea to constrain it a little bit.
