[CMS] Why is this happening with the frontpage

[Tony_FPM]

Hi Guys,

i have finished styling my forum and CMS. I work on a resolution of 1920 x and everything is perfect. But people who work on 1024 x has problems with the vimeo widget (the video comes ou of the widgt) and with a you tube movie that comes out of the story line.

Thanks in advance.,

I guess it's because the video is bigger than the widget.

You should not count on people having their browsers set to a certain size when you design a page. You should make the page fluid enough to accommodate all your users. I have my display set at 1920 x 1200, but I only keep my browser open for half of that, so I only see half of the videos.

But isnt it changing by itself when you have a other reoslution ?
In my old forum it worked perfect..

Can i fix this in any way ?

My skinned theme runs fixed while the default out of the box theme runs fluid. On my laptop the default looks fine as it adjusts to meet the smaller resolution. However the skinned fixed ran off the right side of the screen by just a pixel or two.
To counter act that issue the fixed theme was set to the laptop's native resolution of 1280 wide. I work off of a 32" lcd screen at 1920 x 1080 but I keep in mind my laptop resolution is the lower end boundary and work according to that restraint.
I would set a minimum resolution that you program for and let your members know this. Or copy your theme to a floating version and offer both.

Edit: I guessimated your forum at roughly 1400px wide. When someone comes in using 1024 it's roughly 400px too wide.

Set the left column to a pixel number wide enough to accommodate the video and not a percentage.

The column does his work but the video stays as big as in the setting. So is there a option (HTML code) that makes the video go smaller or bigger autom. depending the resolution of the viewer ?

Copy a style to a specific resolution is not a problem. But how can i arrange that people can choose between the 2 frontpages of the CMS.
So how can i make 2 layouts LIVE..

Thanks in advance..
