Scroll to the bottom and use the drop-down menu.

go to drop down menu on bottom left of page and select widescreen. This actually makes the page more narrow on my work comp...

Here's the reason behind it-

If you're running a resolution below what the forum default skin is designed for, you'll have scroll bars at the bottom, because the forum default skin is a fixed size. It will not scale larger or smaller. The widescreen setting scales the skin to your resolution (this was originally created because we complained about having large amounts of white space on the sides at higher resolutions), so if you're larger or smaller than the forum default resolution, you need to set it to widescreen.

I'm not sure why it doesn't just get set to scale all the time... i prefer to get good use out of my available screen real estate...

Just out of curiosity, what resolutions are you guys running? I run 1280x1024 at work and home, which leaves huge amounts of white space on the sides of the page here if I don't set it to widescreen.

I'm guessing you guys are running 800x600... or lower???

I'm running 1024x768 on all my comps (work & home).

Wonder what they're scaling for, then...

if I choose widescreen, there is no white space around the foum template. I don't have the problem of having to scroll over, that is weird.

<--- runs 1600x1200
