Growing sidebar

[ringer]

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 about 1 x 6th or 1 x 7th of my screen. 1 x 3rd seems excessive!

Must admit, i did prefer i when you could remove it when viewing the forums.

This issue is an ongoing annoyance, first highlighted by Marvo back in September 2011, I thought Dan or Jason would have got to grips with it by now perhaps this new thread will give them a gentle prod.

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.

Can you collapse the menu bar now by clicking the little arrow next to it?
