Discussion thread - Full Width site setting
Posted: March 2nd, 2019, 10:46 am
I've started this thread so that it can hold any discussion around the new 'Full Width setting' that's now available to help improve the browser experience when visiting the Lemon Fool website.
By default, the setting is in the 'Off' position, and can be configured by individual users by following the instructions on the URL below (which will eventually turn into a STICKY post, so please try to keep any discussions here for now, and not on the linked thread below) -

The tool has been in operation for a while now, with testing responses being really positive. That's also given us the benefit of knowing that the default 'Off' position does not cause any issues that we've been made aware of.
We'd be interested in any feedback, positive or negative, around this new functionality, but hopefully it will improve the user-experience on the varied number of digital devices that we're all likely to be using nowadays.
It's been primarily introduced to help with the legibility of tabular-data that's posted on the investment threads, but I personally think it also improves the general usability of the forum when using wider screen-areas, which will take advantage of the new functionality if it's turned on by individual users.
Please read the above linked instructions if you're interested in trying this out, and to help give a flavour of the advantages for tabular data, here's a sample post with a wide table in it -

Whilst there's still a scroll-bar visible with the above tabular-data, hopefully the advantage of being able to see much larger amounts of the tabular-data is obvious with the new wider-screen setting now being available.
Cheers,
