Forum:SH Archive/Amount of images in articles

I have come across a problem that may have been addressed before, and thought I'd bring it up here in case a consensus is already reached on this matter and I'm just blind. We can always move it to CT later if need be...

Whilst reading the Dantooine article I noticed that a few of the images were appearing in the wrong place or causing formatting problems through the article. After a few attempts at editing the problems away I realised it was because of the width of the page was causing less lines of text and therefore the images get 'bunched up' together and, because they 'float' at the right or left, they push each other away from their specified locations.

I checked Ryloth and a few other planet articles and found similar problems. I am currently using 1440x900 (at my office) which is by no means a common screen resolution, but this is not a high-end machine and these 'widescreen' monitors and screen resolutions are becoming more popular. I think the most common screen resolution currently is probably 1024x768, and I haven't noticed these problems on my home computer which uses 1280x1024 so I'm assuming that this formatting problem actually only affects a very small amount of users.

Do we have any way of finding out visitor statistics such as screen resolutions? If only, say, 5% of users are using anything bigger that 1280 width then there isn't much point worrying about it just yet.
