Rows too thick in main page

In the main forum page, since the right bar has came up, the rows of each forum heading have become thicker, it works fine in IE, but not Opera which I am using.

Oh, btw in Opera I don't see the ads, so maybe thats something you want to look at (even though I'm not complianing ;)).

I am seeing the ads with Opera 7/W98. I also get the expanded forum headings and I think it is caused by the Moderator column. Forums with just two Mods are normal depth eg iPod Mac or iPod Windows, but iPod, Music and Lounge all have 5 Mods and are deeper.

IE doesn't do this.

Yep, I figured so much, but it only got thick once that sidebar came up. As for the ads, beats me, I don't even see the top banner :)?

Have you got an ad blocking function on your PC? Or are you running Norton Internet Security - I know that blocks the ads on the main page, if you have ad blocking selected.

I'll see if I can't eliminate that entire 'Moderator's' column. It's not necessary?

OK, all should be well now as I eliminated some unecessary columns...

No and no, there is no banner on the top of the front page, but there are the ads on the right hand side.

But as I said before, I no complain :P

This is just nitpicking, but wouldn't it look better if the left column were a bit sleeker as well. When in thread view e.g. author, registered location seems a bit wide. In this way the message itself dominates.

Of course I realize this depends on screen size, browser etc. It was just a thought.

ginalee...

the author column in thread view has always been a 'fixed' width... adding the ad column has not affected the author column... only the thread column. OK, I made the Author column smaller, see how that works...
