Stop spamming to get your post count back to where it was before Craig savaged it.

Is it now the ultimate forum version? If yes, I say: Well done!!!
And if you're not a metal head then you might as well be dead...

Unless anyone has any other constructive comments and relatively easy changes that I can make, then yes this is the final version of the current forum

You could spend forever moving the start of the text a little bit further off the white line. I could put a space at the start of all my posts but I'm damn lazy.

People will notice that the right side corners of the main forum border are now as curvy as the left! Congrats Craig!

And plus it doesn't actually work! lol. Just make the tab/window wider and then you can see all the text. If you can't do that then....

Can anyone give me a screenshot of what it looks like to you, coz it looks fine for me in Firefox 2.0.12 (both Windows XP and Linux) and IE7 (Windows XP) at 1280x1024, and should also look fine at 1024x768 as well.

I think all that needs to be done is for that white vertical line that goes behind the avatar needs to be fixed in a certain position, if possible. Cause if you stretch the window or maximize it that line moves and you can see the whole post. If that makes sense.

Aha, I see what you mean now. I've tested the layout and it looks like you're using 800x600 as a screen resolution - generally the case on small screens (below 15" on a TFT flat-panel and below 17" on a CRT tube monitor) - I'd assumed that resolution was hardly ever used!
Another reason is that you're viewing the site with the window resized to 800x600 or below (which is probably the more likely reason) - so if you're viewing it windowed, resize the screen. If not, I'll have a play around next week and see if I can get it working properly at that resolution.

My god, how can you cope with that?
Mines nothing bad, it only happens at home 'cause I use a really old version of IE. Just texts starts right after the white line. So if you start a sentance with 'I' it makes the I look fattt.

There's your problem then. IE7 has been out for about a year and a half and it's a required Windows Update, so if you haven't upgraded by now then it's your own fault.
A tip - get Firefox. It's a hell of a lot better than IE. Microsoft actually tried - and failed - to rip off Firefox with IE7. Plus Firefox is standards-compliant (as is the whole of this site now). I've even got it skinned to look like IE6 because I prefer that layout.
