Your screen resolution when visiting BYOAC?
saint:
Hardest part about designing a web site is the fact that what it looks like when you develop isn't necessarily what it looks like on your visitor's machine. I've long since stopped using anything less than 1024 x 768, and web-build accordingly.
I know there are things I can do to have pages that accomodate intelligently varying screen sizes, but my skills aren't there yet. Until then, I'd like to get an idea of what everyone is using. Please fill out the survey.
Thanks!

Greater than 1024 x 768
However, my IE window is probably around 1000x600 as I like having multiple windows towards the top of the screen and IRC chat near the bottom so I can watch the action.
Actually, here's what my screen looks like normally (copy and past)

1024*768 here

Well, since web design has been my full time job for the last 6 years, I can tell you if at all possible, don't go above 800x600 for a site design. A vast majority of people are at that rez, and there isn't much reason to build a site that requires any more room than that.
I run at 1024x768 at home (considerably larger at work) but rarely have the browser maxed full screen, so you can't always go just by screen rez either. I usually run my browser at 900x700 or so, regardless of the resoltion my monitor is.
As far as making a "liquid" design, just stick w/ percentages for widths on stuff. For the beginner, that should allow you to keep things consistant between different resolutions pretty simply.

1024x768, but my actual viewable browser screen is ~875x550 (almost the same for both browsers I use). Note I'm not including the menu bar, html address, etc in the viewable screen size.
