And Odyssey, those fixed-width centered-column designs are godawful, because more and more screen space is wasted as the resolution increases.

FreeTerran, if your site design includes 800x600 bitmaps (or blue-on-black text)... please get someone to break your fingers.

Bugger me dead. Something I agree with ZB about. Everything this man said is absolutely correct. Listen to him.

Anyway, if you're using a large resolution, you need a large screen. Hence, the actual page ought to be roughly the same size whatever resolution, since dot pitch between displays ought to remain relatively constant. Unless, as I said before, the person is bloody rich, in which case they can suffer

Personally, I'd have to say that you left your mind in the blender too long. Making a website that looks decent from 640x480 on up to 1600x1200 isn't all that hard with even some half-baked knowledge of CSS and Javascript. You can make it even easier with some PHP. If you feel like you need to 'punish' visitors to your website, you've kinda missed the whole point of having a website.

Well...white is better, hence the reason we're all posting in white.

Well since he [probably] knows that the human eye is attracted to the blue end of the color spectrem, he wants to have blue text so people will listen to what he has to say(which is relatively nothing)... anyway..

People voted for 1024x768 most, and you make it in 1280x1024? Heh, whats the point of voting?

Some questions are not meant to be asked. No, seriously, you'll be dumber for having heard the answer, I guarantee it.

Dude i have not say that  i made it for 1280x1024 its optimized for 1024x768 but my screen resolution is 1280x1024 and so the screenshot too

As a web designer my self, the common resolution for gaming websites is 1024x768+ at 24-bit+

Heres a nifty part of Macromedia that might help...

Browser Resolutions this info can be very useful for determining how much space you have available for which res for the website

as for the layout I won't comment until its online..

Aw, c'mon. CSS + Javascript + PHP = compatability nightmare. That's why I stick to tables. I design to the lowest denominator - text browser, 640x480.
And if people aren't at the lowest denominator, it gives 'em a use for Opera's zoom function
I don't feel the need to punish people, really. They'd have done in their eyes enough already by running small screens at high res.

I don't think any of those are a compatibility nightmare!! Maybe you should visit World Wide Web Consortium once in a while or perhaps the PHP site developers' site...

Opera I use, but think they are a lot of sh** because there popup window isn't outside the window!!!

Game sites are always demanding on processor power so thats why they use 1024x768 resolution!

It's supposed to be like that by default. If you don't like it, change the settings so it opens new windows. Alternatively, just hit F12, then choose "Open requested pop-up windows only", and it'll block all the ones you don't want.
