Yes, for a website to be able to support any arbitrary resolution and be easy to use on mobile devices of any size, would indeed be a very nice thing to have. In other news, grass is green, water is wet, ice is cold, and Captain Obvious is breaking speech records today on making statements of the obvious.
My point is, it is easy to talk about how the site markup code can be improved in many ways and how it should be compatible with any device. That is more or less obvious, and there's not really much to argue against that. However, what would actually be useful is if people would actually have a go at redesigning the site's CSS code for modern devices. Nahoc has had a few goes at rewriting the CSS code, to somewhat mixed response, but perhaps someone else has a better idea they could try to put into practice (or Nahoc could make improvements/additions to his original redesign). Things like that would be much more useful.

Well, according to this site, based on their own log, still 44% browse the internet with a resolution strictly less than 1024 pixels wide.
That site does not say what you think it says:
As of today, about 97% of our visitors have a screen resolution of 1024x768 pixels or higher:
In the table that follows, it lists 800x600 with 0.3% and "lower" with 2% as the only options with width strictly less than 1024 for Jan 2015; the last time strictly less than 1024 was 44% or more was in Jan 2003 — at least according to this data.
My mistake, I mixed up the screen height and width.

I like both current site and forum fonts, but may need to see in action. Can you post pics to not force everyone to tinker with browser?

Alright, so the current tasvideos.org looks something like this:
And my most recent proposition looks like this (style is similar on other pages):
Few things:
Hover on images now has transparency (same for navigation),
Font is sans-seriff (subject to change)
Dotted lines are now solid
Old style is kept so users don't get lost
Now has a max-width of 1600px
Cleaner padding on content
and more!
Let me know what you think.

The font is a bit too huge IMO. Maybe it shouldn't be as small as the current one, but maybe it should?

Kinda want to see more variants to see what they do to:
1280x720
1920x1080
(whatever size 10:9 ratio)
(whatever size 21:3 ratio)
and of course.
960x720
I cannot give a proper opinion on the size due to my screen being smaller than it.
