Hi James,

Thanks for your feedback, I'm also using a large screen (1600x1200) and admit that the site is narrow than I'd like it to be, but more than 20% of visitors are using 800x600 so we've had to restrict the width of the site to make it look fairly uniform for most users.

Unfortunately, with such a fixed-width design this leaves us larger screen users with large bands of white space on either side of the site, but at least it prevents some of the major headaches that can occur with a variable width.

Ideally, we hope to put together a few different templates to cater for 2/3 major screen resolutions and then let the user select which one works best for them. This shouldn't be too difficult, but unfortunately it's sitting in a very long 'to-do' list of jobs that we're currently working on.

As always, we'll be happy to push the mod up the list if the demand is strong enough, so your request has just seen it rise a few places
