    Martin!!

    There's lots of comments about the lobsided look due to the menu on the right>

    If you dont want to move it, then Please can we have the R/hand menu amended so that users can close it down if they want to!

    Thanks Chaddy

    I agree... :T The forums page is simply that. If I wanted all the other site information, I would go to the site. The good thing about these forums was that you could choose main site or forum pages. Now I have to put up with all this crap over there

    Hi

    I disagree the information to the right is good IMHO as lots of useful links can be put there and it is something that can be built upon over time. It is very good if there is new information that Martin wants maximum exposure for.

    Edilass, don't you think an option for a user to close it down is a feasible idea?
    That way we'd all be happy! :D

    If peeps don't appreciate the green(ish) tinting on the forum, and you have Firefox, download the Stylish addin to let you override site styles. This Stylish fragment will make MSE forum a light grey rather than green -

    @-moz-document domain("forums.moneysavingexpert.com") !!

    Just to say there should never be a need to scroll to the right unless you're on 800 x 600.

    We know there's a glitch with the breadcrumb trail that if discussions have a long name it breaks the formatting and thus this happens and will deal with it next week.
