Default forum theme too wide

The default theme is nice but the unlimited width makes reading long posts tiring when I have to turn my head ever so slightly for each line to read from side to side on my desktop monitor.

This may be a controversial thing to change for everyone, but setting a max-width of the forum to 1280 pixels makes it a lot more comfortable to read for me. Here's a short userstyle snippet if anyone else feels the same:

Code: Select all

@-moz-document domain("forum.mattkc.com") {
	.wrap {
		max-width: 1280px;
	}
}
(The search field seems to be floating on its own and doesn't respect this max-width, but oh well. Works for me :))

I myself has always been using the default Light theme which cap the width similar to your CSS :mrgreen: Anyway I think you should send an email directly to Matt for such suggestion.

Ah, I don't feel strongly enough about it to email Matt about it, I just mostly wanted to share the snippet if anyone felt it to improve the forum experience.

If it were to be adopted for the forum it would probably need some kind of adjustment for the search box though. It's just floating off to the side without any care in the world.
