Who are those poor souls still running at 640x480? Maybe they are using smartphones? I wonder what the most common user-agent is for the lower resolutions.

The vast majority were using Server 2003 on IE 7 although there were a few Windows 98 running IE6. It's probably people accessing the site from terminals in a lab somewhere.

It's sad, my resolution of 1920x1200 ranks lower than that.

Hmmm...I must need to get out more. I see very few desktop machines that aren't running at least 20" widescreen monitors, and I don't think that 1024x768 is even an option on those. I know that 4x3 CRTs are hard as heck to find new anymore. Maybe there's a ton of 4x3 laptops running at 1024x768, or a lot more home users are still on CRTs. Your stats are surprising (to me at least).

I actually have a setup at home that has dual 22" CRTs running at 1900x1200 or thereabouts...I was always stunned by the number of people who had those giant monitors running at 1024x768. Of course, that tiny text may be why I now need glasses...

I had the same problem. After trying for days to get it to work, I sent an email to Delta, asking when this would be fixed. I got a message back telling me that I needed to 1)refresh my screen, or 2)try at different times of the day, or 3)contact my ISP to see what was wrong. Anyway, I knew it wasn't any of those, so I went digging some more here on the forum. I found a few that said they got this same "problem" if there was a change in their itinerary. They had called Delta and had an agent "clean" their itinerary and it solved the problem. So, I tried that this morning. Sure enough, there was a time change in one of my segments, but I hadn't received any notification of the change (the flight is out in October). The agent "cleaned" the file, and I can now look online at my itinerary.

DeltaWebGuy - perhaps a different "error" message should be displayed when a change to an itinerary keeps it from being displayed. I could have had this fixed a week ago if that was the case.

I think there's a simple explanation to this.

Back in the day there used to be about 3 common resolutions: 640x480 (VGA), 800x600 (SVGA), 1024x768 (XGA). Nowadays there is an abundance of resolutions with a variety of aspect ratios. If you look at the stats I posted a shocking 50% are 1024x768 but with the exception of 800x600 & 640x480 everyone else (45%) are running a resolution larger than 1024x768 so it isn't as dire as it looks, there just isn't one common larger resolution that people are using.

Still, about 72% are resolutions typical of 4x3 screens:

1. 1024x768 50.16%
2. 1280x1024 14.59%
6. 800x600 4.87%
9. 640x480 1.12%
10. 1920x1200 0.95%

Do you think that's mostly small laptops or residual CRTs?

I run 1280 x 800 on my 13 in (16:9) laptop and I have to scroll to see the whole screen when browser is maximized. But not a problem for me because I almost never have the browser maximaized so I am used to scrolling.

I like the new layout. :)

1920x1200 is a widescreen resolution, typically on a 24" LCD.

Widescreen resolutions became popular only about 2-3 years ago. I have a fairly top of the line Thinkpad I bought new 2.5 years ago and it's got a 4:3 aspect ratio.

So I'm not surprised to see 1 & 2, those are most likely 17" and 19" LCDs & CRTs with a few laptops peppered in. 800x600 & 640x480 are old CRTs I'd guess or people who haven't figured out how to install the correct video drivers :)

This is a cool graphic by the way:

I'm running 1024x768 on most of my monitors. The "Itineraries" page (the list of itineraries) requires horizontal scrolling even if I F11 full-screen/kiosk-mode the browser. That's using the entire screen for the browser without any chrome or OS stuff showing. Can't get to the "Trip Details" arrows without horizontally scrolling.

Horizontal scrolling is universally considered far more annoying than vertical scrolling.

You've made that page *harder* to use at 1024x768. Not an improvement. Sorry.

Also keep in mind the growing popularity of netbooks with small screens. 1024 isn't dead, and if this was a "1024 update" it should have optimized it for 1024 rather than making it worse.

Hm, that's very odd indeed. It definitely displays for me without a horizontal scrollbar at a 1024x768 resolution. I even set the size using the Web Developer Toolbar for Firefox so that the window itself would be exactly 1024x768 and there is no horizontal scrollbar.

You can see a screenshot here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/4066431...45702/sizes/o/

So, I'm not sure what to recommend to you MarkXS. :confused: Can you post a screenshot or describe your setup a little better?

As for the newer netbooks and smaller-screened laptops, by and large, most support a minimum horizontal resolution of 1024 pixels, so we and other sites with a 1024x768 layout should be fine going forward.

I'm on a what is probably the same Thinkpad as gt_croz with a 4:3 aspect ratio and set to 1024x768. The entire Delta site shows fine to me on Firefox 3.5.1.

I'm not seeing it on my newer machine (Thinkpad corporate-issue 2 years ago), just on a couple of much older PCs. Might just be an anomaly; I'll poke around.

...

I figured the new update is a part of the 1024 transition

I am a little bit excited about the 'days until departure' text on the upcoming itineraries (Nod to NWA?) and more so, the calendar view

Is there a way to make the calendar display the return trip though? It is a great start in either case.
Now, all I would like to see there is the ability to add my events or integration with Outlook/iCal/Google Calendar so that I can put my flight info wherever, or add my meetings, etc...
That would be nice...

Thumbs up so far - the update is going AOK for me so far... 13-inch mac, firefox 3.5 :)

Works great for me on my work computer, XP & Firefox 3.5, and my home computer Mac 10.5.7 & Firefox 3.5. When will Safari 4 be supported on Mac?
