Yeah, I didn't have any trouble when I switched to IE (6?) either. But I'm guessing that's because I didn't have anything cached - cause there's exactly one thing that causes me to launch IE these days, and mqseries.net isn't it.

Okay... let's put some numbers here.
I had to set my screen size to 1200x1024 to get it to fit without horizontal scroll. At 1024x768, I could not make the window wide enough.
I normally run at 1600x1200.

So it may be that they updated the CSS to prefer a wider size. And neither Vitor nor I noticed because we'd always been using a wider size.

OK all. Thanks for the diagnosis.
I'll have it looked at to see what we can do from our side.

Could someone do something about this? I know everyone likes tweaking things to make them look different. But, around my shop 1024 x 768 is still pretty standard.

Seems to be for a lot of people here.
My laptop threw a warning box up when I tried to use it!

we had not messed with CSS things. But, we think we know the likely cause for the problem, (when MQSystems was added as our newest sponsor it somehow elongated the screen size, causing it to wrap around for some pcs/laptops ....). Anyway, leave with us to find the cause and re-set it back.

Thanks. I'm not a web developer, but one would think that there would be a way for the site to query the actual screen size being used and adjust things more dynamically.

Not generally. HTTP has no notion of a "screen".

We have experimented and tested with various screen sizes. The problem was isolated to a scroll bar issue for 1024*768 screen sizes, and was not a new problem caused by the Sponsors listings update the prior weekend. the issue would have been there going back to early September.
Interestingly, a slightly different setting as in 1024*800 did not have the scrolling problem, everything fit on a single screen just fine.
What has been done: we have squeezed the banner area as much as we could. Our tests with 1024*768 seem to have improved, but not completely resolved, the scrolling issue. I hope that the improvement is noticeable and displays more acceptable for those users with such * 768 settings.
If your machine lets you have higher screen size settings for your PCs and laptops, please take advantage of it. There was at least 1 site member who benefited from doing this (AkakshA who replied back that he had done Jeff's suggestion and ...........)
