my guess is it might bring in more revenue because they can fit mor down the column.

The ads are not a bad idea and they are necesary (righttttttt?). The design is key in them though. They need to be fixed to go the other way

it doesn't intrude when you're actually reading a thread so i don't mind. no biggie when you're just browsing through the different threads.

did anyone else's post fonts just go REAL BIG! i copied and pasted something and all my font must be in the 30's...wow.

If you have a large enough monitor, experiment with the resolution (Start->Control Panel->Display->Settings). You can also change text size by holding down the CTRL key while playing with the scroll wheel if your system is configured right. Sorry, I know nothing about Macs.

Mine's too squished to the right as well - Can't deal with this for much longer... Annoying to say the least.

Maybe having the ads span the top of the page?

Yeah... my monitor is fine, the resolution is still perfect, it's just annoying to scroll to the right to see all of the thread information. I don't mind the ads at all, I think they are a good idea. But the way it is set up right now is annoying and makes site navigation a hassle. Put them accross the top agian, it was much better.

i think i have a 17 , got it from a buddy , it does fine on the 1280 setting , its the TV that gets messed up , for some reason the card for the tv out goes scrambeld on my tv on the 1280 setting so i have to run the 1024 .

its set up for the tv when my buds come over , thata way if i see something on the internet that i want to show someone i can just put it up on the picture in picture or the full tv modes , as oppsed to 4 dudes huddled around a montor looking at brook burke pictures
