This is just bullsh1t. I moved over to a desktop with 1440x900 resolution and I STILL get a horizontal scroll bar - the sidebar is taking up over half the screen. See y'all when it's fixed, I'm gonna go play on some other forums.

It's not a browser thing - the laptop has Firefox and the desktop has IE7. It's the site programming. I don't feel I should have to use an ad blocker to use a site.

Nothing on the left side of the screen, Blank space. I only have half of the site. Something is screwed up. Matter of fact, I just had to do a Ctrl-Alt-Delete just to get outa here. Nothing on top either. Humm, think I'll stay away for a while till they get it fixed. Oh well, It's not like I contribute a ton of information anyway.

We all need to contact the new administrator and complain. This place seems to be having a lot of problems since the migration.

Same thing here.

Strange - first time I seen that. It's working now.

I reported post #1 to staff, let's see what happens. The bad ad isn't up there right now, it seems to have rotated out.

I know enough about vBulletin admin to know Steve probably can't do anything about it, this requires access to the underlying PHP programming to fix - I don't believe he has that access any more.

Whatever happened, it seems to be fixed for now.
Edit- I stand corrected, still screwed up.

It's the ad rotation - it's been popping in and out for the last hour at random. There is at least one ad designed for top placement in the sidebar rotation.

It just happened to me again about 30 seconds ago - then quit as soon as I came in here.

Yea , it's the Venders ad at the bottom of this page I think - Someone prolly added it to fast and screwed up some how.

Actually, it has nothing to do with vBulletin or PHP. There are two main ad sections on the site, the top leaderboard and left wide tower. Whoever setup the ad campaign that is causing a problem put a leaderboard (728x90) creative in a space that is only intended to display a wide tower (160x600) ad. If someone can tell me which advertisement is the culprit, I can either pass it along to IB or see if I can fix it.

Update: it should be fixed now.
