@Gunny: I didn't underestimate DOS. It was good for its age. But if it wasn't for Windows, only us geeks would still be using computers.
EXACTLY! Now a monkey can operate a computer. Nothing left to be proud of here anymore. I suppose it is better for the masses though.
If I could only get my Mother-in-Law to understand it I would have a lot more spare time.8-o Did I really say that?
It would be the most helpful if this issue could be resolved for you on the forum side, I know. In the meantime, perhaps you can find a Fit To Width button or bookmarklet that you can use (assuming your browser doesn't come with that option).
It finally dawned on me what it is about this new design that I don't like. In the old design, the avatars and names formed a left column and the content was to the right. This made narrower content -- which is good! Numerous tests by print media have shown the optimum width of text is a paperback novel page. The optimum width for text and art is a magazine page. A newspaper is what it is because it was meant to read as a poster on a community bulletin board.
The text is just way too wide in this new setup. I tried narrowing the display part -- and the text didn't wrap. No way will I scroll horizontally. Anyhow, the light went on a little while ago as I was trying to read a long entry. It's difficult to eyetrack that wide.

ha! i'm back! thanks rat and SJ
about the width-issue: i think the header image is too wide. so the browser tries to display it and the rest (threads and so on) just use the space. make the logo smaller/less wide and everything should work (i have the same problem because I don't use the browser maximized)

Yup, will do asap
And good point Bob, I will look into changing it back to the old format.........
Haha, no problem! I need the criticism so I get this right. It's tricky, but I think we're getting there.

Haha, thanks - some good pointers there
Well, After futzing up with my password not working, and then for the life of me couldn't remember it anyway, and having to wait 15 minutes, and then it really wasn't 15 minutes so I had to wait another 15 minutes, and resetting it -
I just wanted to say the place looks GREAT! Wow! The banner on top is very cool, and the actual forum feel much lighter. The black and light blue contrast is very pleasing.
I have a lot of catching up to do, But I think so far this all looks great.
I feel like I've been waiting outside of a new night club for the past half hour. LOL
