That is really strange. I'm running a test of FF13 on Windows 7 and cannot reproduce that.

Yes and the layout of many websites have moved to this narrow format which irks me a bit, and something I will have to live with. I am guessing it is better for mobile users and not having to worry about scaling horizontally. If you are on a machine with a 4:3 screen or similar I am sure it goes fine too but for 16:9 or similar a lot is wasted.
Thanks!
Yes the front page forum list will return. And the entire front end of the website is also getting a rewrite, so we will be an all new WDWMAGIC in the next few months. The forums were brought forward in the plan due to performance issues.

Hrm...initial thoughts. Looks a lot plainer. The "dimmed" style helps add a little more contrast, so that's good. I think there's room for further contrast though in some of the ways others have mentioned, such as perhaps a little more post separation and such. Possibly even a slight variation in color every other post? I've seen that before on forums, where post A is a pale grey and post B is a slightly different pale grey, then post C is the same as post A's color, etc., etc.
Additionally, with a widescreen monitor, it definitely feels like there's a LOT of empty space on either side. Can it be expanded perhaps a little more? It feels like it's set to 50% of the screen. Perhaps if it were upped to 80% or something, then it would move with the width of the browser window; good for those who want multiple windows AND good for those who browse in full screen?
This is especially true for me on the main forum page where there's a whole sidebar on the right full of info. Makes the forum part feel very squished.
Will the quick links alerting to news come back? I really liked that little iframe previously and used it daily.
As for icons, right now I'm half cut out of mine, so I guess there's a new square format instead of the rectangular?
Also, I used to set my thread count to 30 or something. 10 annoys me because it means I have to flip pages very often. I didn't see that setting option now. Am I stuck on 10 only?
It's definitely faster which is good, but it just seems a little plain.

I reloaded firefox with no addons and see how it's supposed to look. I guess a stylesheet is being blocked? I'll have to figure out which one is the problem

Really don't like the layout at all sorry. Colours don't work and I can't understand why it's been changed at all? Any chance it could go back to the way it was?
I feel like I've gone to the Magic Kingdom to find it's been replaced by a six flags!

How did you get the symbol ?????
There is now a full width style - WDWMAGIC Liquid.
No there isn't. This is because it is now possible to link to specific pages of threads. eg. http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/feedback-on-new-style.838970/page-4
Allowing a user to change the number of posts per page would mean that a link to a page could result in a different set of posts appearing for different people.
Wow!! That was quick. Thanks!! (and now the clapping hands smiley would come in very handy...
