This is a problem running low resolutions (1024x768) and below.

Does it occur with the template on the main site at http://www.advanced-driving.co.uk/ ?

Post a few screenshots here James if you can. Fixing the forum will be straight forward but the main site a tad tricker as I'll have to re-work out all the layer sizings. But do able.

Probably just need to shave approx 50pixels off the width.

I've made some changes already. Knocked 90pixles off the width of the forum and the main site. Just need to change the header files now, but managed to fix it quite quickly.

Looks nice and familiar.

A suggestion Darren, how about a link to the main site from the forum header?

I have several cm of grey each side - it's because the forum is fixed width. What would be *really* nice is to have it adjust to the browser size, but that may not be possible. (I run 20" monitors 1600x1200 :) ).

Some of us are running "much" higher resolutions and there is a light grey banding round the outside of the white area, its actually subtly striped but you probably can't see it on 1024x768.

Can't please all people all the time as it where, due to layout a compromise has to be met and this is it.

A couple of requests - no idea if they are easy to implement:

1. Page 1,2,3 etc in a thread to be accessible from top as well as bottom of forum pages.

2. 'View posts' since last visit' to be available from each forum page.

I may be imagining it, but I think these feature were present before, and helped efficient browsing.
