    It's still narrow and the forums are on the right. But even more importantly, the formatting toolbar is missing, at least when writing a Lounge post.

    "It" being the width of the forum messages / main panel? Matthew fixed the missing format bar.

      We had a missing CSS rule. Try refreshing and see if that helps

      CTRL+F5 makes no difference. This message text box looks Ok though.

        Yes, the width of those things. Or am I just being fooled because the layout has flipped? I see that the format bar has returned.

          The RHS was 160px, it's now 300px. The LHS was 170px. It's now 0. There's about 20px os extra space added between the forums and the RHS. That means the net change is about 10px wider forums that had a RH bar (eg Bugs and Suggs) and a 150px reduction in width for forums that didn't have a RH bar (eg the Lounge). We can tweak.

              It's OK for Portrait mode, but it looks odd in landscape to me - too much white space on the left and right. Since I mostly run CP on my Portrait monitor, it's not a problem, but I'm unusual in having the choice, I think. What do you guys think?

                  Until a couple of weeks ago all colors were muddy and matte but after today both eyes have had Cataract surgery and the colors are so vivid and the whites so white, it's given me a whole new outlook on life.

                    Okay, I know I'm getting old, but God meant menus to be on the left! If not, He would have inspired Chris, David, Uwe, et al, to create the original with a right side menu panel. It just ain't right! At the very least, make the silly thing follow me down that page as I scroll so I don't have to scroll all the way up to find it.

                      I think, put it back to how it was. It was fine previously and menus on the right are just a little eccentric - I can't think of any other UI where the menu is on the right. I won't get started on my stop changing things for the sake of change rant... oh there I go... :laugh:

                        The menu went from left to right, but that's it. Don't really like it as I now have to look all the way to the left edge of my screen. Maybe 10px margin between the screen's edge and text (I checked and it's 9px) :~ Besides, by far most menu's I've seen were on the left, that's just where I'd expect it.

                              Hmm, you mentioning the space on the left made me notice it. Zooming in fixes it for me (and makes the text easier to read.)

                                    And the (expandable) "tree view" (TOC) is usually on the left. (It's now tucked in between ads, while the left is "empty")
