Not using tables at all would be even better...

Your goal should be for everyone to see a site which will encourage them to spend money. I'm not being facetious. There are lots of threads around the boards in which webmasters take seriously topics which at best might bring their audience up a couple of points here, a couple there. But then for some reason when we get onto talking about screen resolutions, plenty seem happy to make choices which might cost them 10%+, with barely a second thought.

That's not logical, although yes, I suppose if for some reason you cannot satisfy everyone equally, you would put your biggest audience first.

bad idea:Oh crap

yes i've been told to :) ..but what for?!?

Many valid points in this thread but equally many very dumb ones. To suggest, as many posters have, that up to 14% of your traffic with 800x600 res does not spend money and is OK to piss off is at beast very, very shortsighted.

most of the users now are switching to 1024 X 768 res.

I was thinking about this last night while surfing GFY in the tub on the PSP I won from islanddollars.com last summer.

I believe I will be making myself some mobile friendly versions of my sites.

1280x1024 here

myy members love it

nope, 1024x768

thats right homie, don't get slapped:1orglaugh

15% is too many users to say fuck you too. I'll stop doing max width 800 when it gets below 5%.

fluid design with css rules :)
