it's too wide!

Why is this forum so wide? the sidepanel makes the page so huge that even at 1024x768 i have to scroll to the side to read half of it.

Can you make the main body area narrower o have the option to hide the sidebar?

Re: it's too wide!

yeah... it's great when you go to lower resolutions. Absoutely wonderful.

some people don't have a choice as to how high their resolution goes.

Re: it's too wide!

I agree - can we please make it collapsable? I have even considered installing GreaseMonkey...

It would be cool to just set the exact size of the right bar and set the body to 100%.

Re: it's too wide!

This definitely needs to be fixed. Odd that it worked before the links to all the forums and the Good Posts link was added. It doesn't resize for me, in either IE, Fx, or Opera. What I've normally been falling back to is Control/-'ing until the page fits. It works very well in Opera, since Opera resizes the images too, but I prefer Firefox, so I've been just doing that, but I really want this fixed, and what I'm about to do is to edit my user.css file to make the style completely compatible with my laptop's resolution.

Re: it's too wide!

I think this was caused when Andrew (NewOwner) inserter that Good Posts and the Forum links at the top of the page. Ether that or and FireFox 1.5 if mouse is now cursing over everything on the page which I hate. Know what I mean?
