    Most active discussions box is getting pretty big...

     
    Is the one managing this site even looking at how it is setup?

    You've got a box 2x as long as the two other sections and another box that is completely empty.

    Just get rid of the news and articles part and split the active discussions into two sections if you want that many.

    It looks fine to me on XP and IE7.

    What browser? The news/article column could be removed due to inactivity, but as far as the table width, it formats properly for me using IE7, Mozilla Minefield 3.6a1pre, and Opera 10a.

    Both IE7 and FF3

    Also, when I checked it in IE7, I couldn't help but notice how terrible the ads are as a guest...

    Formats appropriately for me in IE7, and Minefield 3.6a1pre should render HTML about the same as Firefox 3. Curious, are you using any content filtering?

    This is after you click the little button to move the box to the top as well...as it is in the first image if you didn't look yet.

    Filtering in FF, yes, but not in IE.

    Window size is 1601 x 981

    I get that, and I did look at your screenshot. However, it is not doing that for me using the browsers I indicated, and you are running an even higher resolution than I tested. Bizarre.

    It looks fine for me in Opera, IE7, IE8, FF and Skyfire on my cellphone renders it fine. Vista 64bit, Vista 32bit, Windows 7 32bit, and Windows Mobile 6.1 Viewed it at 1920x1080, 1280x800 and 640x480 (cell phone) resolutions.

    As in it fits properly. It does not get stretched out like in your picture.

    Running any content filtering via a router or even a proxy server that you might have overlooked?

    Your screenshot is cut off below the table. The way your initial inquiry is worded, it makes it seem like you are stating the table is wider than other page content, thus blowing out the page format.

    I said the active discussions box is 2x as long as the other boxes and you've got one completely empty, so if you want to display that many you should get rid of the empty one and shift it all over to have room.

    It looks like they missed your point EX.

    I always thougt it was strange that there was an empty box on the right, the Recent Discussions box is only half full, and the Most Active Discussions box is dang near overflowing and stuffed over on the left.

    Been that way for several months on my end.

    Either display 1360x768 or 1400 X 900(lappy). Both OS Win XP Pro and IE7. I just ignore it.

    Most Active is 13 rows x 1 column and Recent Discussion is 6 rows x 2 columns with 6-7 empty rows below them. I think EX is suggesting that both are made to be 6 rows x 2 columns & lose the empty News box.
