    Default Forum Layout

    Just wondering if everyone gets this or is it just me?

    MWF

    WWF

    MWF has a black border all around it which equates to a hell of a lot of estate on the iPad.

    Havent checked to see what it's like on the laptop, haven't fired that up for a few months
    Cheers

    They are the same for me also. There are no alternate options at the bottom same as your screen shot.

    The vBdefault was there initially not sure why it disappeared but back again.

    Clicking on it will give you the full screen version which interestingly enough was the one everyone complained long and loud about many years ago when it first went on WWF. Why? Because it had to much width in the screen and hard to follow what was on the left side to mate up with the right side.

    I did a search of a dozen various types of forum and even with the black border MWF had much more real estate than 10 out of the 12 the other 2 were just a shambles and hard to follow.

    Below is a random selection of forum real estate from other forums for comparison with the MWF skin.
    I don't visit or use any of the below they are pulled at random from a Google search.

    I have deleted vBdefault and added Child of Metalwork which will also give a full screen and looks a little better than the vBdefault style.

    In regards to full screen version yes on a pc screen it may have been, but when you're using a tablet such as an iPad mini or standard iPad as I am, the full screen version is the best, as the narrow screen looks squashed and you have to scroll more and some pics also don't fit the screen.

    Metalwork Forums are now on Tapatalk for all iThings, androids and other mobile thingies, phones, tablets, etc.

    You will need to sign up for Tapatalk if you aren't already a member and download their App. Then do a search for Metalwork Forums and all should work fine. Just use the search term: Metalwork Forums do not include .com or anything else in the search.

    Cheers - Neil

    PS If you hate Tapatalk try our Default Mobile Style in the drop-down menu, left side of the bottom navigation bar on all pages.
