In short, pages are too wide. Most people with wide screen monitors have 1920 pixels available horizontally. So, if they have two browser instances side by side at all times (like me), that limits each browser window width to 960 pixels, and that automatically causes futures.io (formerly BMT) pages not to fit and be partially off-screen. Could you change that please?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. If you need me to test how pages look like once you make changes, please let me know.
Thanks for the feedback, but this is by design and I don't have any intention of changing it.
futures.io (formerly BMT) is setup so that anyone with 1200px wide or wider can view the site without scrolling. The majority of users browsing the site are doing so with 1920px monitors, or even multiple monitors. Optimizing the site to the low end helps the few while the majority are left with huge whitespace to the left and right of their screens.
Only 7% of futures.io (formerly BMT) viewers visit the site on hardware that isn't capable of 1200px wide display.
If I remember correctly from my html days, page/table width specified in html is actually a min, rather then max or exact. So by specifying a number lower than 1040 px (my estimate of what it is right now), you'd fix the problem I described, without ruining situations in which pages are given more space on screen. So all you have to do is specify the width (interpreted as min by html) to be 924 px rather than 1040 px.
I've done that in my opinion. Altering the home page and other page to reduce 10% of width would require the images at the top of the page be even smaller than they already are. This is as narrow as I am willing to make it.
I mean you've said yourself that you can display futures.io (formerly BMT) at proper width, you just choose not to. You could use browser tabs, etc instead of two side-by-side web browsers. And I highly suggest buying more than one monitor, I just sold 6 22" monitors on craigslist for between 65-75 each, you can pick them up next to nothing and come close do doubling your screen real estate.
