I'm using Firefox 2.0 on a Mac w/OS X 10.4.8 and for the last few weeks the website has not been sizing correctly. Here's a picture of it (picture) but basically the website shows up so wide that I have to scroll over significantly before I can read the forums. Safari 2 doesn't have this problem on this computer.

If you have FF's adblocker turned on, thats what's causing the problem.

Theres a snafu in the code where if you use FF's adblocker to remove it, it screws up the whole layout.

Either turn off the adblocker until it's fixed, or continue to use Safari

I have Ad blocker... but wound up upgrading to VIP--no more ads to block and the too-wide thing went away. Glad to know the problem's being addressed.

I use FF + adblock on my macbook pro - see the same issue but it doesn't happen on my windows box of the same config. Seems to be limited to the mac.

I agree that it's limited to the mac, when I'm on the website at work on a windows PC it's fine.

Nope, it happens on others too. Alperovich mentioned it in one of the other ad threads using FF 2 on Windows, and he had the same result:

i use firefox, and use their adblocker. when its blocking adds, it causes everything to be way to the right, i have to scroll to the right, like intensely to get to the threads.

it only does it when there is that add on the right, anyway we can relocate it? to like the top under the header or something else???

I didnt know what he was talking about, so i tried it on my FF 2 installation in Linux, and ended up with the same problem:

oh wow, yeah I just tried it and i see what you mean:

Seems to be application specific rather than platform specific.

Jon said he fixed the problem, but I guess not if this guy is still having problems...

I managed to do it on FF2.0 in WinXP too...

It only happens when you use AdBlocker to block the entire frame, rather than blocking the individual image.
