According to some stats websites I use, almost 50% of browsers use 1024 x 768 screen resolution...

I used to use that, but when I first bought my laptop which is under Vista...It was pre-set to 1280x760 so I ended up sticking with it thinking thats the default. I actually like 1280x760 because Im the type who goes to movie theaters and sits in the middle...not too close to the screen and not too far so things arent so huge LOL

Right, so basically its the polar opposite...Most (gay) men expect that. If not its like "ok why not?" in addition the websites Im on promote picture ads of naked men advertising all over the place. One is better off hiding their face while naked, then showing their face without any cock pics LOL. Although I much rather show my face, I just dont feel right not showing my face.

Then again, it goes both ways. At one point I never showed any nude pics....but as time went on if I didnt I'd get the "can you email me some..." and invariably I'd do it, or risk loosing it. It wasnt a matter of them being TW for asking, some did book when sent a picture...many more turned out to be Wankers so thats when I decided to just start posting them

That's fine, but your visitors are still having to scroll two ways and no-one likes that. You didn't make the site just for you to look at, did you?

Couldn't have put it better myself. When browsing websites, people are *lazy*, so you always want to make sites as easy to use as possible. If not they may well flick onto something else...

Absolutely not, no...I thought that 1280x760 was the way most new computers are having it nowadays, because my computer was pre-set to that pixel and its a windows vista. Are y'all having alot of difficulty in scrolling around?  :o

the website is just an extension of whats already being shown online...my regular profiles are on the main escort sites, they're not going to flick to someone else just because of my website is higher res, thats RIDICULOUS...They may not read the whole thing (who does anyway) but its there for info...

oh, I found something....The latest statistics from W3 Schools indicate that 69% of users are viewing websites at a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels or higher in (July 2005). While the trend is certainly moving towards larger displays, 25% of users are still using 800 x 600 displays. Before you move forward with your giant, 1024 x 768 award-winning site design, realize that 1 in 4 people will not see the whole page. These same people will probably be so annoyed with scrolling horizontally that they will leave your site and not come back. We don?t want that, do we?

BAM!!!! shit people, upgrade your shit! bigger is better!

 Hmm, I dunno, I'm having to scroll sideways too, and I'm looking at your site on a 24" display screen! I had issues with this when I was creating my first site-

It doesn't matter what resolution you use, or what resolution we use, we're not your customers. Why don't you install something like google analytics and find out for yourself? Unless you're not interested in attracting visually impaired customers or those browsing on netbooks or older computers, you should take screen resolution into account.

Hi Joey,

Very nice site!...only a little point of observation with regard the resolution.

I use both FF & IE at 1024x768 but your site drops off to the right of the window

Easily fixed though, adjust the style sheet div control to 100% instead of a fixed width, that should do it!

Also, SEO stuff, cannot see where your search engine tags are, title, meta, keywords, description? Unless your not really concerned about these.

Your pics are ace! good lighting and also, the faq was cool...say it as it is why don't you!...lol

I'm nearly done with my escort link directory, just finishing off as we speak at 01:14hrs GMT

Hope all is well with you!

Thanks Rick for the tip...I tried to change it to 1024x768 but it was just such a hassle trying to resize the whole thing all over. In addition, its a flash based site so I cant set anything to 100% or 'fit for all'. Also, with moonfruit I believe the ladies said something about it doesnt register on search engines simpply because its flash based. Im not much concerned with being found on search engines anyways as most of my clients come from only the main sites, and the website is there for informational purposes only, not to advertise or get more exposure as the main sites does most of the work for me.
