Maybe that's why so many sites don't work properly for 'real world' surfers then.
Not all people who use DGM are web designers, and I'd be amazed if anywhere near 95% of DGM users will be able to use the new home page without scrolling across.
We've not all got 21" screens - I have a 17" monitor and anything over 1024 x 768 and the text becomes difficult to read.
One of the golden rules of web design is not to make people scroll sideways.
It's only recently that 1024x768 has overtaken 800x600 as the most popular resolution used by most surfers, and 800x600 still accounts for a sizeable proportion, so I design my sites to work with that resolution.
Of course if DGM paid me the balance for this month that is shown when I log in I'd be happy to spend it on a much bigger monitor. But unfortunately I know it's telling me I've earned around £1,600 more than I really have.It's been broken so long now I don't think they're interested in fixing it.
