Enforce panel layout
The panels should have an option to force a grid layout, instead of the floating randomness we have today. I designed a 3 column poster that displays correctly on the most common screen resolutions, but it breaks with this new layout.
Streamers should have the choice of floating(today), three, four or five column layouts.
The new channel layout makes it easier for everyone to find the info they're looking for about a streamer, which is great.

I totally agree .... I put everythign so nicely lined up for a 2 column view and then when I view it on my laptop it goes 3 column and on my pc 5 column ... its completely ridiculous.

The panels are awful now. You try to make them look good and then when the chat window appears, the 4 columns turn into 3 columns so everything moves and gets merged looking messy

What's worse with this is the panel layout isn't consistent even for a single user between pages - the about section has a 4 wide layout by default and the live/chat page still has a 4 wide by default. Consistency and a forced grid need to happen for this to be useful.

If you check your stream stats, you can see what number of your viewers aren’t looking at your channel through a PC web browser. For my channel, that’s almost 50% of my viewership who are on mobile, console or a TV-app. So they’re seeing your panels 1-2 at a time. The fluid layout might be aggravating sometimes, but it’s for the greater good.
This new channel page layout will surely help us reach those viewers even more.

Absolutely down for this idea! Being able to create the layout and force that view so it's maintained for aesthetic reasons would be an amazing way to go about things.
I hate how it changes from 1080p with chat open or without, or at 1440p or 4k...it's mental. I understand why it's dynamic but some of us are more creative with our layouts, and the option would be great.

Yass! This have been annoying me forever, as i have one 1080p monitor that displays 3 columns as default and one 1440p monitor that displays 5 columns. Messes up the very planned out design of panels!
