    Using the Stylish extension for Chrome / Firefox, create the following new style:
    #forum_container { width:100% !important; }
    
    Apply to the moneysavingexpert.com domain and it's streched again :)

    Where is this applied in Firefox?

    Thanks very much, appreciate the answer but it went way over my head :o.


    have googled and added MSE to compatibility but no change :(.


    There's an old saying 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'.


    Think MSE broke it!!!!

    You shouldn't need to use add-ons to make a website or forum either usable or acceptable to view.

    Poor show, MSE!
