This is interesting. Cheers all. and HI @Printninja :slight_smile: long time no see.
I checked out the site you posted, and in that, the author posted a link to the sites PREVIOUS layout on archive.org

Now!
that’s where it got interesting, I was reading the comments, and they were all pretty much refuting the info -due to mobile/overall design considerations, especially the comment by Rob, here

So, that article made sense to me, as does @Printninja’s points, BUT…
I think I shall have to try the @droidgoo approach from now on when I get back into this.
And I too, never understood the 62% thng.
now I do, so cheers all, well explained. .
