I've got firefox/vista but I've got a widescreen laptop and when the window is at full size, the BOMB frame is lined up with the left side of the window leaving a big empty space next to the vertical menus.

I think thats what hes talkin about.

Like so:

You realize you're the second person to actually notice this.

It does it on a desktop too, but to a lesser extent.

Do I have to fix it? ;D

It's actually a pretty easy fix.  You just need to remove one offending table cell, the one expanded in this screenshot:

Here's a before:

And after I removed it locally (wide and narrow):

We'll be doing some 'maintenance' soon.

When the board was fubared the other day it seems we also lost the ability to edit all the simple portal blocks along with some functionality of the smf software for some members.

I hope we don't make it worse.... :P

Let me know if I can help with that.

You might be able to save some bandwidth if you make better use of CSS.

I believe he pulled the page code down to his machine, redid a couple of lines in a code editor, then used the code editor to see what it would look like on the internet.

He didn't actually change the code for the site.

But I could be drastically wrong.

I'm a ninja.  I hacked the DMF server, made the change, took some screenshots, then undid my change before anyone noticed. 

But I'm also lazy, so I didn't do any of that.  There's a Firefox add-on called Firebug that allows you to modify the page locally without any of the saving locally mess.  I found the extra cell, right clicked and selected "delete element". You can see the Firebug window at the bottom of some of my screenshots.  Here's another screenie with the popup menu to give you a better idea:

(http://www.systemmobile.com/code/dmf/screenshot_for_dmf_firebug.jpg)

I used another Firefox add-on called the Web Developer Toolbar to draw borders around all of the table cells, which is how I saw the extra table cell in the first place. 

Both of these are very handy add-ons if you do any sort of web crap.  I do a lot of server-side development and they save me a lot of time.
