Aye, I like it to fill the screen, don't like "dead" space on the edges, so the oldschool theme is perfect for me.
Same here...

So what do you surf? Like 40% of the web?
Errr... It's seems to be a "tech site" thing. CNN just made a changed, and it's not as noticeable because it's all left margined, instead of centered.
Most of the security sites I visit don't do the fixed length stuff. Of course they are more about info, then appeal. _________________ I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. - Oath of office of the President of the United States

I guess I don't hit many of those sites. At least very often.
ACK! Just looked at Foxnews... HATE IT!
Sorry... fixed width sites to me seem like a step back into the late 90's when you built sites for 640x480 and they looked like crap on anyone running higher res. _________________ I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. - Oath of office of the President of the United States

Just because you have a wide monitor doesn't mean everyone has to fill it for you.
To me, sites that span to 1440 or 1600 wide wind up looking like - paragraphs all fit on one line, images get lost in a sea of blank screen... Content management is just ugly.
How about this fixed width site: GUINNESS _________________

True... but because it's a total fixed width it doesn't seem as bad.
And I will say that the new skin looks fine on my laptop with the 1024x768 settings. _________________ I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. - Oath of office of the President of the United States
