hey, i do web design, so i'm not just talking out my ass. i was asking them to just fix a couple of bugs in their theme.

i'm not asking them to change their theme "because of me"

and i know i'm not the only one that runs high res. and it's really irritating.

with comments like that i'm wondering if u just want to start a flame war.

it's not an insult to them, i just noticed that they weren't using a repeating table cell background for the different areas. so i asked them to fix it. DID IT EVER OCCUR TO U THAT THEM LOOKING AT THEIR THEME CODE AGAIN COULD SPEED UP YOUR LOAD TIME? AS WELL AS SAVE THEM MONEY ON BANDWIDTH. so, umm...hmmm...that's pretty much my argument.

i ask politely, and i get hit with someone who wants to start a flamewar. i wonder why i even asked, it looks like simple requests don't get acknowledged here. i don't have time for a flamewar, i have to go to work. WHERE I DEVELOP IN AN IDE, WHICH REQUIRES 1600X1200.

btw, on anything > 17'' monitors, 1024 x 768 looks horrible, way too low a res. everyone should be running at least 1280x1024 when it comes to 19''

web design is a live, flexible art. your canvas size is variable, and your content is fixed. it's not easy to make a pleasing design that looks good at hi res and lo res. the theme looks very good and is readable...it's just broken. at least i'm not posting a HTML 4.01 compliance analysis from w3c
