Suggestion Maximum site width

After a certain point, it's difficult to read content due to excessive line width. Some post layouts that people create might not "sit" right on very wide screens. This might not be a problem for people who use the site mainly on phones or tablets, or smaller laptop screens... but after around 20", it gets really awkward reading posts. You can TELL someone wrote a paragraph that looked fine on their screen - but then when viewing the site on a 27" monitor, everything is just all on one or two lines. As a general design rule, the onus shouldn't be on the user to constantly resize their browser window to achieve an optimal line width.

So, I suggest making a quick tweak to the site layout, and just set a maximum container width for the forum, maybe 1920 pixels or something, since that seems to be the most common high resolution width right now. Users on laptops and smaller devices won't notice a difference, but users on high end machines with high resolution monitors won't have to swing their entire head to read a line of text.
