Is there a way to make the forum a maximum width?

[LarryB]

Loving trawling around the forum, I'm learning a lot from so many hunters.
I just enjoyed Kimber's great writeup from the roar. Unfortunately the way the forum works, stretching across the whole screen (on desktop), it's a lot of work to read anything with good depth(content) like his yarn. I re-sized the forum body area myself just to make it easy to read. I read somewhere that the optimum amount of 'words on a line' in digital is 7, otherwise you're moving your eyes too much and it's more work than it needs to be. With it so wide for me I almost have to move my whole head!

Anyway, question is: is there a way I haven't spotted to give the forum a maximum width for my profile? or perhaps you might consider adding a bit of stylesheet stuff to make it do it site-wide, though people probably used to things as they are and not my intention to go imposing my wants on everyone else.

I just wanged this on 'contentMain' or any of the other html classes to do it. Attached is a screenshot. Just an option to consider!

element.style {
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    max-width: 1000px;
}

I'm with you there @LarryB. I just pop out the window and re-size to a narrower width and it wraps the text.

There are a couple of reasons the forum is the way it is........
1. It exercises your peripheral vision. This helps the muscles that control your peripheral vision by exercising them before you go out chasing deer and helps retain muscle memory.
2. It stops people being narrow sighted on various topics that arise from time to time..........well, it was supposed to but hasn't worked very well lately which has caused a rise in the number of 'one eyed' members....

I would just minimize the screen and adjust to my preferences at the time.
