Default If This Site Keeps Getting Better ...

If this site keeps getting better, pretty soon it will be unusable.

Every day, it seems to take up more width on the screen. It took a step change for the worse when the main page of posts got 3 columns wide.

At this point, I cannot read an entire post without using the bar at the bottom to shift the page left and right. It matters not whether I am using Firefox or Internet Explorer.

My MAC looks just fine. Try increasing your resolution.

I am having the same issue.

Try using your cursor to highlight the page (click on it) and use control + or control - to increase or decrease the font size.

I had to do that on both IE and FF to get the entire screen on one page. It does make the print smaller which is a pain.

Same prob for me. Can zoom it down but then can't read the content easily. Scroll, scroll, scroll.

We don't - we didn't break it. We use work-arounds unless/until the Admin returns to the former screen size.

On Chrome, for me, it looks the way it always looked. There is a narrow column on the left with local advertisers. Some advertisers up top and below including Advertisements based on my interests. Apparently someone thinks I want to rent a car.
