LOL, nicely done. Fluid sites have to be very carefully planned out to work well, otherwise the reading column is just too wide for comfort.

I don't think this width is bad at all, although at the same time I wouldn't ever have a browser window that is say 1440 pixels wide anyway. 1024-1280 is the sweet spot in terms of readability... not that I can't override the width anyway. I'm less inclined to think a forum has to dictate the size though, people can simply resize their browser.

You can add Yahoo! (http://www.yahoo.com) to the list. I mean they're only the most visited (http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_sites?ts_mode=global&lang=none) domain on the net.

Stupid skinny site design? I don't get it. How is the COG skinny design better? Aside from me being here. :)

Heh, this will be an in-joke that will long be remembered around here. :)

I was asking myself the same question. Glad I'm not the only one.
