Well I've still got it. It's tucked up in the right corner of my screen:

Hey, Sal, are you using IE6? I've heard that IE6 has a bug or two re re-sizing screens to fit your display.
On my 800 X 600 display in IE6 the forums fit perfectly, but like you I cannot see what Orac sees. However, there is a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the screen. When I use that the missing stuff comes into view.
Some web pages are so affected, others not - which confirms to me the reported bug in IE6.
As a test, I just changed my display to 1024 x 768 and I can see all. The horizontal scroll bar is not displayed. Wish I could leave it like this, but the screen is too small and my eyes too old ...
(edited to add the last para.)
Cheers
AA

AA, you solved the problem for me. Someone changed the layout at the weekend, methinks. I hadn't noticed that I now need to scroll right to see the whole width. I'm using IE5 but 800x600. I tried 1024 x 768 and, like you fond that it all fitted on. My eyes are young but I cannot work on that resolution either.
Was it a change for the better Crashdive/WDTBD?

We are always looking at how we can make the site look better Sally and I will pass this thread onto the Capt. so he can note your comments.
Thanks to Ausatco for being the super slueth!

Ya sneaky buzzards... I thought i'd lost it all too. I have changed my settings to 1024x768 and whilst it all fits in now. even for my relatively young eyes I find it uncomfortable.
No one else seems to have mentioned the problem so does that mean that Sally,Ausatco and myself are in the minority using an 800x600 setting?

FOR THOSE WHERE TEMPUS HAS FUGITED
Don't forget that WHATEVER your screen display settings, IE6 has 'VIEW'/TEXT SIZE' settings so you can still read your favourite aviation forums!

Yep, Pprune's discussions fit perfect on my 800x600 display in IE6.0, EXCEPT that the little menu at the top right:-
user cp | register | member list | faq | search | forum Home | Logout
is off-screen and we poor sods who've been whinging and whining (well, not really, just pointing out observations
) have to do a horizontal scroll to get 'em.
(One could discuss horizontal scrolls in another forum ...)
Anyway, am downloading IE6 SP1 as I write. (1.5 hrs at nominal 56k - actually only 48k
) Will advise if this makes any difference to IE6's behaviour re this problem.
Dr B H, yes can change the text size at any resolution, but not every web page responds and in any case on my Jurassic little system (14" monitor) icons and menu bars and other Windows bits at 1024 x 768 are tiny.
