Yes settings have been changed. But we don't want to cause anybody any hardship. Changes are never carved in stone. We do want to hear feedback from anybody having trouble, we promise we'll do what is possible to rectify the issues.

Most "small" PC monitors these days are 1280 or 1360 pixels width, one of the larger "laptop" screen sizes is (or was?) 1368 pixels. Frankly things change so rapidly its hard to keep-up with the changes. We're building our screens around 1360 pixels width, that's the website and the forums. That wastes a lot of space on a 1920 monitor, but its also much bigger than the screen of many portable devices. 1360 pixels is 70.8% the width of a maximum width 1920 pixel monitor. Our banner ads are 332 pixels width, if we get to the point of having four banners, 4 x 332 = 1328. Usually we set tables (or columns) at percentages. This allows the tables to become wider or narrower on various screen sizes. We'll try-out our web pages at several screen widths (and on Deb's cell phone), using several web browsers, and see what they look like in different sizes & on the different browsers, then make adjustments if needed. Another variable is whether o not a person has a vertical toolbar (explorer bar) on the left hand side of the screen, diminishing the screen's width. We're learning, getting better as we go along, we're still on the steep side of the learning curve, and due to the proliferation of portable devices (especially cell phones) there's much more to consider than there was a decade ago.

My point is we learn from your feedback and therefore encourage it!

Ron there is indeed more "back ground" visible on the sides of the "tables". Is this causing any problems?

Trivia ... did you guys know that was Laslo Antal's black group 4 tiled in the background?

Chuck your screen has me puzzled, I don't think you've pictured the whole thing. I'm not seeing scroll bars etc. It looks very narrow, like 480 pixels or something. Is that a mobile device or a PC monitor? If its a PC monitor, what browser are you using?
