I've noticed in screenshots that many people use the "classic" format, but it just looks goofy to me considering I've always used the vertical format.


When I joined it was already set to vertical and I didn't know there was another way for a year or more.

It does seem that a majority use the classic

Do you have a widescreen monitor?

Vertical. Sideways non-sense should have been weeded out of the options years ago along with signing your post and sharing the dancing baby gif.










It's always puzzling when people post arrows in their post pointing off the side of the monitor at my bathroom.

Vertical, with OP highlighting. Makes it a lot easier to check usernames/avatars when reading long threads, and doesnt waste screen space on picture heavy threads

Go to the user CP, click on settings, select horizontal format, save setting and enjoy the only sane way to view AR15.com.

I could see that, and if ARF made the change automagically that would probably be cool.

But classic is completely usable on a phone, and vertical is just a retarded amount of wasted space on a computer.

This is like those threads where people discuss wiping their ass standing up or sitting down; no one ever realizes that there is "another way" and thinks the other people are godless heathens.

At least with text editor holy wars people know what the alternative is -- unless you use pico, then you're just a drooling retard.

Vertical, because I'm not retarded.  It appears that, as I've long suspected, I'm in the minority.

Would be nice if we had the ability to have that set different for mobile.  


But dear lawd, vertical is aweful on a 'puter.  So bad I would probably stop surfing arfcom.

Didnt know there was anything but vertical, so i switched to clasic and this post zoomed everything out and has a bunch of empty space. I am on an ipad though so maybe that could be the problem

With Horizontal you get all of that same empty space plus big empty spaces between the text of a post and the start of the next post.
