Am I imagining it, or is the sponsor's sidebar getting bigger? It is currently taking up about a third of the screen when I'm reading threads. Is there a way of making it smaller?
 
It takes up a third of my screen too, but I also have a problem with the buttons along the top of the page. I find the "New Posts" button has become superimposed on the "Building" button so it's a 50/50 chance of getting the wrong page when I press it !!!

It's all getting a bit messy.
 
I think you guys need to adjust your screen resolution.

I wish it were that simple.

I'm using a laptop with a 15" screen & have a choice of 800 x 480, 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768. I'm using 1024 x 768 - the highest setting. The lower settings are obviously much worse.

It's only recently (since the extra button "Building") was added that I started getting these problems.

I also have a desktop pc in another part of the house & this has a 21" monitor which displays this forum perfectly, but it isn't always convenient to traipse upstairs whenever I fancy having a browse around here, and I'm not yet in the market to buy a new laptop !!
 
I've removed some of the navigation buttons in the main menu to make that area smaller.

The forum isn't designed to be viewed with smaller screen and resolution sizes in mind. 95% of our users are on average size screens and about 4% on ipads or iphones using apps or whatever.

Thank you :)

It's fine now.
