Topic: Beta 3 VS beta 4

I believe that it should be added back...   This removal actually annoys me as well (and yes, I know it can be easily changed with a single line in CSS - but I should not have to change core files for this, IMO - this is appropriate fr a setting)

Don't look at me, I also wanted to use it and it wasn't there anymore I don't know why it was removed, would need to check the history.

(You can blame me for being lazy to add it back though )

i believe it was removed to help make the theme responsive.

[Kindred]

I disagree with the removal and disagree with the need to remove it to make the theme responsive -- because I have half a dozen themes that are responsive and use a % width and half a dozen others than use a remarkably wide width at high screen resolutions.

It doesn't make any difference, you can have both. It is a max-width, not width. And when things start to break the setting will simply be ignored (~900px, theme and mod authors that add a sidebar will need to ignore it at a larger size)

i cant at this time find the PR related to it, but i believe it was related to making the theme responsive or it was thought the feature was no longer needed since it is responsive.

Here's the issue: https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1/issues/2858

The theme being responsive doesn't change things for the desktop view. So at the end this is about if we want the setting or not, and having the setting is just a matter of convenience and making things easier.

[Kindred]

it is also about removing functionality that has existed since v1.
It's not always wrong to remove functionality/settings... especially if they are not used - but it should always be carefully considered -- and I do not feel that it was carefully considered or warranted to remove it in this case

[GigaWatt]

Agree with Kindred on this. You should be able to do these sorts of things from the admin menu, not in your cPanel.

I'm with Kindred on this as well. The max width really messes with the on page content with simple portal and a max width theme. Yes it can be changed via CSS but an option in the admin panel would make this much easier to change and would be greatly appreciated.

An example of when I have run into this in the past.

It's already going to get re-added. And regardless, it's good to have in mind some people use ultra-wide monitors (or just very large ones), they can do without content stretching across 2500px+ wide

And yes, 720px is very narrow by any standards, if that's what you had to deal with. 1200px is larger than most sites that have any limits.
