    I'm having problems setting teh resolution on my site.

    https://www.pokemoninfocenter.shyper.com

    Fear the long url...

    Anyways, the bars are all over the page. The guy made the layout for 800x600 but I want my site to be 1024x768. Anyone know how to do that?
     
    Okay thanks for the help Greg. *glomps*

    I'm having some problems installing PHPNews. I uploaded all the files using FTP but I cna't get the install to work or something...and what's CHMOD?

    EDIT: Oh umm..nevermind...just got it seconds after posting this. Still wondering what CHMOD is though/
     
    CHMOD is the file permissions settings for the file. There should be an option on your FTP client to change it for each file. If not, get a better one.

    Just change it to the number the installation script tells you to and bingo.

    I have to say though, i've never seen a prewritten script that doesn't actually explain CHMOD.
     
    I have. The Net is full of them. You were obviously lucky XD.

    As for the res, best keep it to 800x600 anyway since that's standard o_O

    I don't get myself a lot of prewritten stuff. Mostly because it's so vague or so blanketed that it doesn't have what i need. Writing my own is much better - though really, i've avoided having to do that most of the time anyway.

    And yes. The Res should either be kept at 800x600 or fully flexible. Fully Flexible is what i'd tell you to do. I started off with Pokecharms in 800x600 mode, but it was very rigid and often buggered itself up if i had too many images together. Now it's fully flexible and can do whatever i want it to....

    Although a lot of people have 1024 x 768 monitors or screens, it isn't the standard and by setting that as your web-layout you effectively rule out the majority. Something no webmaster should do, especially one in a position where they need new people to come and keep coming back. They're unlikely to do that if they have to Horizontal Scroll.
     
    The layout was funky.

    It has two tables, and one was set to width=776 while the other was width="100%" so the 100% one went clear accross the screen, while the other didn't. Looked odd.
     
    Oh dear. *looks at the quote in Greggy's sig* I was under the impression that what goes on in the mod lounge stays in the mod lounge.

    Anywayz... I tend to table it into 800x600 optimized fixed-width, then I either centre the whole table or stick it on the right depending on the layout... or left, as the case may be.
     
    Center tends to be the best. For those vieiwing with larger screens, it looks really rather wrong if it's aligned to a side. Again, alienating some of your audience.

    Although, it is really hard to design a good website these days and NOT alienate people. Most specificly the fact that not all browsers support everything. And the fact that Internet Explorer just completely frells up any complicated layout you can come up with outside of using tables.

    And we all know that you can't just rule out the IE people from viewing your site - you'll never get off the ground otherwise.
     
    @JA: I've had a few Mod Lounge quotes before. ^.~


    And I use % because those tend to work in most resolutions.
     
    I don't like % because my layouts are image slices, so they don't work in %s XD. :P
     
    Ah, but i rarely use image slices, so it works perfectly for me. ^.~
     
    I tend to make all my layouts 800X600 because it gets distorted when used in higher res. X_X
