Forum width suggestions

[FTL]

The default forum width is 1200 pixels. It looks about right on a Full HD monitor and I've left mine at that after experimenting a bit with it.

I'm curious what width you have your forum set at and why.

I do the same because, as you said, it looks fine on my monitor. That said, for my site I don't figure it matters a whole heck of a lot because most of my visitors are on mobile devices anyways.

Mine is just default, too. Never thought to tinker with it because it works fine on most screens that I have tried (13" to 27" computer screens with various resolutions, several phones of various sizes, a couple tablets).

my default is also 1200px, but I have a secondary with 90% for the ones, who want to have it. Most styles works with this. I optimizes this a bit with also a wider messageinfo area, and some other tweaks to use the space.

My forums varies from 1200-1300px. Some have wider sidebar, some wider messageinfo, then I adjust a bit, but here we are.

Any more more suggestions?

Leaving it at the default seems to be the most common preference judging by the replies here.

I just added an option for shrinking forum for users. By default, forum expands to all screen width, but if user need, they can "shrink" to 1200px.

Option value automatically syncs with all opened tabs.

Style property for setting "max width" will be removed?
