The size of this main middle column used for news and comments seems to be a fixed size.

The site would probably me much more friendly to use on portable devices and wide-screen monitors if it were to dynamically resize the middle column to fit the browser window.

Just a suggestion.

 

Uhmm... that's bad:

I'm not seeing paragraph spacing after entering this message in FF3.5.1.  I had to enter two hard returns above to make that break.

The paragraphs appear to be output one right on top of the other, as if it was a BR instead of a P for my post...  Though the HTML view shows paragraph/P markers between them.

People read the stupidest things.  Like this sig, for instance.

Let's see if

Firefox 3.0.11

shows the same issue.

Source code shows <P> breaks in all of them, but some other formating has apparently removed the normal space we should be seeing between paragraphs.  :(

If I turn off Page Style from basic to none in FF, I can see the normal paragraph breaks... though the lack of formatting makes everything else a mess.

Yeah, this is a bug we should have fixed very soon.  Some image and text spacing / alignment code is being ignored in the forum.  We'll get it taken care of ASAP.
