What screen resolution are you running Dood?
In case you don't know how to check:
Start
Control Panel
Display
Settings (Last Tab)
In the bottom left hand corner it will show your current screen resolution. Please check what it is set to and also try to increase it to 1024x768

Ok, I did some more digging and think I have found the problem...
I set the forum container width to 1024pixels wide which, I thought, would limit the total width to 1024pixels. What I didn't know was that this setting excluded the margins and padding, which when added pushes the total width to over 1024pixels
I have made some more changes dood, please let me know if it is working for you yet
Springbok, I haven't heard anything from you so I assume all is well

Dood786, you'll be pleased to know that Rory has graciously sponsored you a 30" Apple Cinema HD Flat Panel Display

Dood, that side strip on either sides... daaaam, when I look at that tar/gravel... I think of bailing of a scooter and grinding my knees, elbows and chin... aish, shivers up my spine... but I think it's cool!!!

Any chance of changing the date format to the SA/European: dd/mm/yy instead of the American mm/dd/yy?
I don't know about you guys but it irritates the sh*t out of me.

Done
In my defence though, I work for an American bank, so all the date formats I work with are in mm-dd-yyyy
RE: Forum changes... - springbok - 05-01-2010 02:39 PM
