OOPS IF YOU'RE COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE PAGE THIS IS THE WRONG THREAD.

GIVE US FIVE MINUTES AND WE'LL CHANGE THE LINK TO THE RIGHT ONE - THAT HAS AN EXPLANATION ABOUT THE FIXED WIDTH IN IT AND OPTIONS

Hi folks,

Just a quick note to update you on the change to the Forum masthead that was due today (Monday).

It's getting a little late in the day to launch it now and there a still a few niggling issues to overcome so we're pushing it back until tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.

Thanks for bearing with us.

    No there were just some glitches - so we took are time to improve it - the chaps have worked very hard. The forum code interferes with a lot of styling.

    Why all the wasted space at the sides?

    everything is squished into the middle of the page. Is this what is meant to be happening?

    Seems to have just switched over.

    if this is how it's going to be I don't like it. Previously I had a full size web page. Now I have the forums squuezed into a section in the middle with a whole lot of empty space either side.

    Is this how it's meant to be?

    Sorry MSE - needs fixing.

    Another one here for the narrow content display. On a large monitor = 50% blank space on my screen! Please change it back...

    why have they used a fixed width, the old version of full width was much better use of the screen. I thought web designers stopped using fixed widths back in 2006 lol
    Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.

    Mine has just changed over and I don't like it at all.

    It's all squished into the middle of the screen and I have just blank space either side.

    Seems to be a step back to me. :(
