Default TOTV is wider - why?

A few days ago I noticed that TOTV is wider than before. This is very noticeable on a monitor with the screen resolution set at 1024x768 - now there is a horizontal scroll bar.

It's very annoying, especially on my wife's laptop which can't be set any higher than 1024x768.

Can this be fixed by the admins?

Thanks

Nothing has been changed from our end as far as I know.

Let's hear from Darrell and Jan.

Can you all still see the ads on the side?

Looks the same to me -- IE8 on Vista set at 1280 by 800 pixels.

Did you hit <CTRL><+> by accident?
Might want to try <CTRL><-> to Zoom out just for s&g's....

It did get wider somehow. Some panels need horz. scroll now.

I'm using 1024 X 768 and have been for some time. Something happened. I think it may be that some of the left hand ads have gotten wider?

Agree with champion 6..I have to read message text on totv with my bottom centering line all the way to the right. With this fix I can read all the text and now get 90% of the ads

I think it started about a week ago but I am not sure. I prefer 800X600 but I switched to 1024X786 for TOTV. Now I have to slide over to the extreme right to get the entire text.

Personally I don't care about the ads and only look at them if I need something.

We have checked, and the forum is set at 1024x768. That is the proper size and hasn't been changed.

Did any of you upgrade your operating system or internet browser? Are you set at 800 X600 per chance?
