Default What screen resolution is your computer?

Just curious because this site is designed on a resolution of 1280 x 800.

Are you trying to find out what the more active members have specifically, or are just curious in general? I know a lot of web analytics programs include screen resolution so if you're interested in all users it would probably be helpful. Google Analytics definitely does and it is designed to help out AdWords customers: http://www.google.com/analytics/

Thanks Brett. I do have Google Analytics, but wondered what the board members had.

I added your option to the poll?


Are you a web programmer?

I've got white bars on either side of the browser on my wide screen laptop, I get that with most sites though.

I don't know. Haha. I know on my laptop, though, facebook has the white bars. I think TP does too. But my laptops in the shop.

There are quite a few ways to automagically sense what resolution each visitors are using. Javascript provides you with the screen X and Y.

I don't use Google for stuff like this because I hate the fact that when its webservers slow down, the whole page fails to load because its waiting for google, doubleclick and shit like that.

I think the better question should be, what screen size are you running and whether its a CRT or LCD. Most websites designed now are mean for a 17" LCD, a 1280 resolution so i don't see why you have a problem scaling the website to that extent.

PS, I am a web developer, but to be more specific, I host large scale LAMP websites.
