Any way to make the content fill the browser window?

In 'the other place', there's a button at the bottom of the page to make it fill the width of the screen. Is there a way of achieving that here?

Have you tried the top grey bar of the computer/phone that shows and underline, multiple squres and the cancel x in the top right of you screen, press the multiple squares and see if that resolves the issue?

That's the window resizing buttons. I'm talking about the amount of the page taken up by the forum content, as opposed to the background, when the window is maximised.

If you are on a windows PC, press F11 to fill the screen :) Same again to get it back down
Or press hold the Ctrl and scroll the middle mouse button up/down to preferred size... let go of ' Ctrl button' job done
 
All who are telling me how to change the window size to fill the desktop, thanks, but that’s not the problem.

Hopefully the attached photos will illustrate the problem.

Irrespective of the window size, the ‘white bit’ does not fill the width of the page if viewing on a desktop/laptop, in my case using Windows or Mac OSX.

What version of OSX are you running and what browser are you using snd what version of that browser. The pages served up by the server should auto-size to fill the size of the window you have open.
 
OSX version is 11.0.1. Browser is Safari. My knowledge of web site tech is limited, but the SITE is rendering to the full width of the window, but the FRAME (?) is not. As I said in my OP, the other place has a button to toggle between the two. More pics attached to illustrate. The Safari window is the same size in each pic.

Mine is the Same.
Fully patched Windows latest everything... regardless of browser.

Its the website... we need the button as per the first post.

It's like I'm viewing a Mobile site on a desk top.
 
I wonder if, the button on df is because they are running xenforo 2010-2017 and dc is running xenforo 2010-2020 and possibly the re-sizing button on df is autosizing on dc so doesn't have the button?

Have you tried clearing the cache and history then tried accessing dc again?
 
Ok, I can see that’s an iMac with probably a 27” screen and I can see what you mean, the background resizes yo the size of the screen but the frame in the middle which holds the content has resized to its maximum.

Having just checked on a 27” iMac the frame in the middle is 28cm wide, about 11”.

Let me see what, if anything, can be done to make the frame wider if it’s really a problem for people.
 
Silly question but on a mobile there is an option to ‘request desktop site’, it’s not displaying the mobile site for some reason ?
The mobile version should always display when it’s a mobile device requesting the data from the server.

Can you please screen shot where you are getting ‘request desktop site’ and also, is that an option you are being given (which is ok and normal) or are you saying you can’t get the mobile version on your mobile, you can only get the desktop version?

I think it’s a safari feature on IPhone.

All working fine for me, I wondered if for some reason on a desktop it had loaded the mobile version.
 
I got Scotty in the engine room to change the Reverse Parabolic Thrust drive for the Fluxatron Magnometer on the Warp Drive nuclear reactor. Seems to have done the job until we get back to Starbase Command 👍.

That's what I would have done. (y)
 
@The GOAT On chrome, It is now full width, tbh I preferred before as I could see glimpses of the 16rr!
I’m going to have to monitor the situation and if there are more people who raise issues such as you Bob than raise issues about the central frame being too small then I will ask Scotty to undo what he did. The majority will rule on this one as it’s an aesthetic issue not a technical problem.
