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. |

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 only takes one bottle cap moving at 23,000 mph to ruin your whole day~ |

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. |

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 |

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. 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> |

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

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! ;) |
