Firstly, thanks for your comments. Observations like these are

invaluable towards improving the overall reading experience for

visitors to the site. When we began designing the ACT-I-VATE website,

one of our first questions was, "Flash, or no Flash". As you may

know, webcomics sites like ZUDA employ a Flash based interface that

will resize itself depending on your monitor and browser settings. It

comes with a few drawbacks, though, that left many readers dissatisfied.

We chose to keep ACT-I-VATE as simple as possible for the time being,

and opted for a basic HTML platform. One of the results is that the

artwork will not resize itself to accommodate your individual monitor

and browser settings.





Depending on the specific monitor resolution you've chosen in your

computer's control panels, the artwork in your browser window may

appear large and may be forced off the screen. For example, I have

access to a Mac, a PC, and a laptop. On the Mac and the laptop, the

artwork appears uninterrupted on the center of the screen, no

additional scrolling involved. On the PC, however, it's as you

described. Adjusting for one group of settings throws the image off

when viewed on the others.

Each AIV contributor tries to find some middle ground that works

best, as far as they can tell, for the most people. Since we check

our own work on a variety of platforms, and we don't get a lot of

comments like this, we assume we're doing a good job for the most part.





At this time, it's technically impossible for us to create

programming that will accommodate every combination of computers,

operating systems, various browsers and monitor settings, without

also inheriting a completely different set of problems that would

negatively affect the ACT-I-VATE reading experience in other ways.





We're always hoping to improve our website as technology and finances

allow. Should a comprehensive solution to the concern you bring up

present itself, we would be happy to adopt it immediately.





Thank you.
