width: 100%;
Mezo, thanks for the thought - I wish it were that easy! We USED to do that - many years ago. When screens were all of a reasonable size, like really big was 1280 wide and 800 wide was the norm. Now, with a 1920 wide screen, forcing a web page to max width truly sucks - the text is very difficult to read when it's one huge long line full screen. Newspapers use narrow columns for a reason, and web pages do to a point too - mostly.
Ideally, all web page text would be in a column about 400 pixels wide for the easiest reading. However, though you can do it with CSS now, it's HARD - and making forum software work with that is nigh to impossible. And, everyone wants to put in photos, which makes it even harder! Finally when you also have to deal with narrow screens on mobile, it's a nightmare to make picture element and graphics work reasonably well.
Also, trying to get all the elements like menus etc to look good at all those resolutions is way hard. You'll notice that most major websites are a fixed width.
Anyway, it's now working pretty well. And that's where we're staying for the next two years, until our next major upgrade.
hope all that makes sense!
