Oops, didn't occur to me that somebody would have their screen in portrait. Will fix it in a moment.

I do think that there should be a minimum resolution set as the application is unusable on small screens. Any suggestions on how to handle it gracefully would be greatly appreciated.

In all honesty, the size requirement is terrible. I took one look at the page saying I need a bigger window and hit ctrl-w and thought: "well maybe that was a cool page, the headline sounded good. Oh well". I'm not against resizing my windows, it's just that with nothing but a headline to go on, I'll just move on to the next thing. Even if you don't show me the app, but instad a splash page and some screenshots that keep my interest, with an explanation of why I need to resize, I'll probably think, "Oh ok, and it's new, cut them some slack" and resize away.

Agreed. That screen was my first impression, which hasn't made me at all curious enough to faff about with my browser to make it display properly. Since I use OS X, I have no reason to run my browser maximised.

Also, the mere presence of such a 'feature' just makes me think that the design wasn't thought through well enough. I actually don't know, because again there's no effort made to convince me otherwise.

one of my opera side panels was on (width 40px) and it complained, and I gave up and came back to read the comments, then went back in and switched the panel off and it was fine. I would suggest, why not work out exactly how many pixels it has to be to not look rubbish. then set the limit at that. or, put it as a warning that it could look much better as it is intended to be used at a higher res. Once read, the message can then be dismissed?

I agree with the above - rather warn the user then shutting them out completely!

I'm on a 13inch screen. Even if I zoom-out I can't access the application. That's a shame.

I ran into to this, but I noticed that the site was loaded anyway, just covered with a <div> on top. Just open up the developer tools/firebug/etc.. and delete the div#globalerror.

1366 by 768 (we have several hundred screens that size in the College I teach in) and no dice. We are on Windows 7 administrated staff and student computers, and we run Explorer 9.

Seems like there is no limitation in height, but in width. Try stretching your browser outside your screen for 80px. :-)

That solved my problem.
