Is it just me or has the forum gotten narrow? I find I'm scrolling up and down constantly to read the same text that used to stretch across the screen in a far more appealing fashion. Now it's all jammed into the middle half of my screen. Annoying.

@Royal, how wide is your screen? Right now, the forum spans 80% of the width of the screen, it was 100% before. I am using a 23" screen, and I thought I was reading "across" too much. Thoughts from other members?

I have it pushed out to 90% now, better?

I've got 1440 px wide and although the change was a surprise, it looks fine to me.

I have tried zoom and it does not make the forum wider. Just bigger. How can I make it fill my screen. The white space on both sides is a waste.

I agree with FT ... 100% is too wide
and makes reading difficult.

Individual appearance can be changed
by adjusting screen resolution.

bowl of porridge 80% full was too narrow for laptop users, 100% was too wide for big screens, but this 90% bowl is just right said goldilocks.
