Just curious if anyone else is seeing the same thing on the main page where it's so wide that you have to scroll sideways to see the news.

Screen resolution is 1280x1024 and up until a day ago the main page fit the screen without scrolling side to side to see the news releases.

All other pages display correctly. I believe that it happened yesterday after Travis added some new news items.

Yes, I also noticed it but... does it matter?

I think it's actually caused by the UotD's profile image. I've seen the same thing happen on other projects when the UotD has a wide image in their profile like that.

It's called 'stretching' and can happen in threads where a too-wide image is used, eg, in signatures. It can also happen on the left side of the page if a user picks a very long name, eg, thisismynamewithoutanyspaces.whichwillstretchtheleftAuthorcolumn.containingavatars.

At least nobody can accuse you of using a name that's too long, Ice!

Believe it or not my chosen name previously was even shorter - iX - the name of a planet in Dune (by Frank Herbert) as well as the Roman 9. Somewhere along the way I used the name Ice instead and it kinda stuck. Like tongues do on ice inside cheeks :P

Ah... Did you read the series or just see the movie?

My 5 favorite Sci-Fi series are:

Terry Goodkind's "The Sword of Truth" series (now a TV series)
Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" series
Frank Herbert's "Dune" series
Jack L. Chalker's "The Saga of the Well World" series
Ann McCaffery's "Dragon Riders of Pern" series

There's a number of others, too many to list. I have so many sci-fi books that I had to build a database so when I go to the bookstore I don't get one I have already. <smile>

In fact it was in 1979, before SETI (And in fact, PCs) were even thought of.

I remember this quite clearly, cos I wasnt there at the time either.

I've heard of her. She usually shows up in triplicate. Her own unholy trinity.

I've read evey one of Frank Herbert and his son's Dune collection, except for the very last, 'Sandworms of Dune' which I will be taking to read on my cruise in the Caribbean next month. I hope to finish the penultimate 'Hunters of Dune' shortly - it's so exciting! ;)
