Personally, I go with an even thousand if I'm using a fixed width. 1200 would likely be pushing it, for my tastes. But that's personal preference -- remember the lower the resolution the bigger the forum will appear. Though I must clarify Tumbleweed , the second link is to statcounter statistics -- a lot of forums that aren't technical use stat counter, and is still even a commonly suggested solution if one cannot afford google analytics for site traffic. It probably represents a broader spectrum of internet users. I was thinking 1052 when this started. I'd be good with 1000, 1020, 1024, or whatever is best.
EDIT: I guess I could take a poll.
Any of those is fine.

OK, I'll look at 1024 when we are finished with this. The report image is below. In case it was missed, I had said: For myself, I'd rather not have anything sticking out by 2px on both sides. You'll see why in the image. I like everything being even with the Banner, as seen below...
I had noticed the Menu Bar overhang before, but never said anything. The only things wrong at 1200px Width is the Menu Bar being inset by 4px, and the overhang on top of the Control Bar.
Would you like me to go ahead and see how it looks at 1024px width?
EDIT: I set the forum width to 1024 and was surprised at how good it looks.
I made these changes:
/*scroll and the fixed menu bar*/ .f-nav1{ z-index: 9999; position: fixed; top:0px; margin:0 auto; width:1012px!important; <---- 1012px padding: 0 8px; } /*Needs to be about 10px more than your menu height due to the bubble*/ .container>.control-bar { top: 40px !important; width:1022px; <---------------- 1022px }
... and now the only thing wrong is that the Menu Bar overhangs the Control bar by 1 or 2 pixels.

I know that was the problem, I saw that on your site but I hate not being able to figure things out so I'm back to the percents and I stripped all padding from the elements we are playing with and totally took the width out of the control. I think, maybe this might have fixed it but I won't know until you take a look. I made a new theme but on the same site. But of course there is one issue. When the control bar hits the fixed position it seems like there is a fatter (2px?) border on the right. But at least it is there on Edge, for me, anyway. I'm digging through the css to see if I can find that class. Let me know how it looks to you on my site.

I made an edit above. Please read that. I'm very happy with the width set to 1024px.
EDIT: Your test site looks great at 1200px.
EDIT: I see that in Edge. The width of both the Menu Bar and the Control Bar need to be set 1px larger for Edge. IDK what that would do to any other browsers, though. It looks great in IE11. But I have a 1px border on both.

EDIT: I see that in Edge. The Control Bar width needs to be set 1px larger for Edge. IDK what that would do to any other browsers, though. It looks great in IE11. What you are looking at on my test site is in percents not pixels anymore. Just looked at your site and read your comments. So either way, my percents (using flat percents, no point this or that) or your now 1024px (looks good) the control bar is the issue. By the way, the control bar on your site looks good in Chrome but haven't checked any other browser so am going to look now. Edit: Vapers United , I checked your site in IE, Edge, Chrome and and FF and I see nothing wrong with the control bar at all when scrolling or in the fixed position. Kami , I did fiddle with it a bit wasn't having any luck but at this point, I'm so sick of this, it would take extreme begging for me to fiddle some more with it. Too bad you weren't around before I got into this. I would have been thrilled if you had done this for Vaper.

Everything else is perfect, when viewing with IE11.
And you missed an edit. I have a 1px black border around both the Menu Bar and the Control Bar. Your site doesn't have this.
EDIT: I just looked at my site with Edge. It's the same as IE11. Only the Menu Bar overhang.
EDIT: I just noticed that the Nav Bar does not hold the Participated Button in Edge.

I'm getting confused with all those posts crossing paths. I just made a post before your last one. Never mind, I think you were replying to my post. I just don't see what you are seeing on your site.

If you are talking about the Menu Bar overhanging the Control Bar, it's not really enough to worry about. I thought it might be a simple fix. It was more prominent to me at 1200px.
EDIT: I found something that made a difference...
/*Needs to be about 10px more than your menu height due to the bubble*/ .container>.control-bar { top: 42px !important; <---- changing this from 40px to 42px fixed the overhang. width:1022px; }
I really noticed it when I changed it to 44px. There was a gap, so I decreased it 1px at a time until it looked good. It looks good in Edge, too.

Oh, o.k., that's what you were talking about. So does this mean you are happy with what you have now? By the way, I fixed the control bar on my percentage one but I'm so done with it.

LOL!!! Yes, my dear. I am happy with everything you've done for me!!!
EDIT: And now, if anyone haunts you again with this one, you have it worked out in two ways in preparation.

But now you do know why I said it was such a nightmare for me. But seriously, I'm glad you are happy and I really wanted to help you so, thanks to you wanting to dig in too, it got done. Whew!
