Come on Markos, you have an eye for design, you should know better that that.

I never surf full screen, and sometimes it doesn't "read" the window size properly. Very irksome.

Erm, Markos? Generally web-design shouldn't have to assume things about the size of peoples windows...

There are? Presumably this is not one of them...

I also have trouble even when maximised on my 800x600 screen - the "Go(New)" Button is off the side of the screen.

It would seem to make more sense to put the "See printable version" etc. above the search things, not to their left. But I'm sure you know best .

Better, but you've indented it so musch that now the title sometimes ends up split onto the next line.

I have my window size set slightly wider than 800, so it should be about the same as J Bytheway's 800x600 screen. I'm curious how you line up the news selector with the right-hand edge. That method could be used to line up the "Go to first unread post" and "bottom of page" links, or could it not?

We readers have no idea how easy vBulletin is to configure, but I assume that was a factor in switching from UBB. So we'll just pile on the suggestions. If I go full screen the Show/Email/Receive options still look cramped. J Bytheway's suggestion would change it like so:

Indeed Mark has undertaken a cunning method of appeasement in the hope that we'll be satisfied by this change and no longer ask for the thread title to be made smaller.

But wait... Didn't the British try appeasing the Germans before WWII?..

[cheese] Oh, Thankyouthankyouthankyou. Markos, you're the bestest. [/cheese]

[whine] It still doesn't quite corral the wayward "Go to first unread post" and "bottom of page" links. It is irritating that the page is wider than the window. I would ignore it, but what happens is that when I do a search on the browser page (which is quite a bit) the page shifts unless the found item is in the name/rank column. [/whine]

Be sure to eat some fruit to "cleanse the palatte" before sampling the next cheese and whine.

That's curious - on my screen those links are lined up fine but its the newx buttons and adverts which protrude:

I second that (though I don't know where it would fit...) - I often find myself at the top of a thread needing to jump forums. I even considered learning the forum IDs to save time, after seeing that listed in the "You know you spend too much time on Apolyton when..." thread.

The top example is how the current view is.
The second example is much better, IMHO.

I personally don't care as I spend my time looking at the thread content, not the top of the page. So, it looks fine now.
