Hey, I'm not sure WHEN this happened, but it seems that every page now is stretched out for me. See below pic:

It's sort of annoying. I'm using IE 7 at the moment, is it just an issue with that? Is there a setting I could change to fix it?

Maybe turn up your resolution? Or change it to a different number. Looks like ******

It's doing it for me too. It started about 2-3 days ago. It doesn't do it on every page, but on most.

It coincides with the March 15th news article with the Summit pictures. The extra width seems to be compensating for the width of the four pictures in that article.

Usually means someone's sig/post scores a 9 in the lame-o-meter and they are stretching the forum. Link me to the thread where there is stretching and I'll check it out, edit it, and PM the user in question.

Mine has been doing the same thing recently... but it varies depending on which computer I'm using.

It's every thread though Exo.

Even the main forum page appears stretched. I just happened to take a shot of that particular thread.

It's really odd, and I don't remember when it changed. I just kinda noticed it this morning, since I normally play at night.

It's at 100%. If I zoom it, it also shrinks the text.

Like this:

So it's not a zoom option.

Tried the highest res I can get: 1280x1024:

My normal resolution is 1152x864. btw it looks like sh*te because they are jpegs with really bad compression. Looks a lot better live and in person.

And as you can see Exo, these screens come from this post. It looks fine in IE6 at work, I checked just to be sure.

If there's something I can alter, I'll alter it. Annoying as hell having to scroll left/right to read normal posts. Otherwise maybe a style sheet got changed?

Which reminds me...

What's the status on the "page scrolls up when you insert a tag in your post" glitch thing? I had to bump my own thread back from the third page or so, but still no answer.

It was fixed once, but it came back. What gives?

And just like that, it's gone.

If the admins fixed something, danka! Makes the form much more readable. If they didn't, well I didn't change anything so....

I blame the aliens.

I am still having this issue on the XP PC I access this site from. IE7. Resolution is 1600x1200, and no matter how wide I make the window, it just stretches past the border. I have to set the zoom to 85% to get it to go away, but this makes the text too small to really read.

I have Vista on another PC and it does not have this issue.
