   Thanks for the comments guys! And those screencaps, good to be able to see what others see. I’m on a widescreen laptop myself so it looks just about fine for me. O

   You should check with something like browsershots.org too.. Always nice to see how somethings functions in all browsers. I know there is enough software for this.. but that site functions good.

   I’m not a fan of the fluid, but then again I just coded it…

   And yes, I know, I used a table for layout. \but you try and get the holy grail working with side margins.

   I’d really love to hear from people who don’t like the fluid layout and why. From a design perspective there are definite reasons to go fixed but from and end user perspective I didn’t think it was as important, so I’m looking forward to the discussion.

   I’ll second that.

   Did a poll on v7n forums:

   I like liquid design because it enables the user to resize the site. You have actually design the site usability for the user.

   my answer is a bit stupid . i’m sorry for this . the old design was like blog design but new design looks like a portal design . but if you ask , which one is better ?

   I liked the new design

    I love fluid. I often have several windows open at once, esp. when on ecom sites, doing price comparisons or competitor research for site analysis. Your site degrades beautifully on my widescreen laptop, at 1024. Very smooth. Nice work

    Fluid is beautiful and very nice ahnges made in the design…

    But as said in this thread http://www.v7n.com/forums/website-review/48525-review-v7n-goes-fluid.html i would edit it in that way leaving the top hover bar completely straight (check my post)
