          I have no idea of the size of my actual monitor (I'll need to go measure it), but my
          actual resolution is 1680x1050.

Well, that at least proves it is pretty large. I'm gonna go for...20"?

Yeah, it's around 19". I found the box for it. xD

I have a very wide monitor myself, but that being said I absolutely hate the centered look of things and I'd rather deal with the big, empty white space that seeing a site centered. If Gaia centered the site then I'd have to get a script to put it back to the left justified like I like it.

So... no, I'm really... really against the site being centered unless it were an option.

Would it be possible to have it set as a choice, though? As far as I know, Gaia staff said they wouldn't be able
to have more than one site layout available (which I assume it would come under) because it would add unnecessary
costs to the site.

          Uh, it is all right if I bump this back up, isn't it?

Yeah, it's fine. I was about to do so myself.

I don't think Gaia would need to make multiple layouts/skins, because Gaia has a lot of other things on the site that aren't governed by the layout itself.

Overall, it'd just be simpler to centre the entire site itself. Because, y'know, I bet half the people here don't even know what "centring the site" even means, and explaining that it is simply "setting a fixed width on the website and adding some background colour to the left and right" probably won't help my cause.

Although, it should have been pretty obvious that that was what I meant in the first place.

I would give the soul of my left kidney to center this site.
