Question Width of Forum Style - A users perspective

I search the site to see if it was discussed before, and yep the width of teh style was but I think that it was more of a designer perspective (fixed width or liquid?)

However I am looking for what you as a user think. Do you prefer a fluid design or fixed. If fixed how wide, centered or not centered.

Any help would be great, thanks

I definitely prefer fluid. My screen resolution is 1680x1050, so fixed forums look tiny to me.

It doesn't matter to me. I run at 1024x768 so most generally all sites look good for me.

On my resolution, 1024 x 768, I perfer fixed. But on anything larger, fluid would be necessary.

I prefer to have the screen filed when I'm looking at a forum. I'm not too keen on big long lines of nothing on the left/right. My own forum has a tiny strip to frame it but that's 'bout it.

I like both fixed and fluid, but if I had to choose just one, I would say fixed.
