Dave, ever since the last update viewing the forum has been almost unbearable to read.
The right side of the screen where the ''Latest threads" and the ''Hot Threads" has taken over almost 75% of the pages view is only 6'' wide.
And the left side where you type or read posts and thread is literally 3'' wide on my 20'' Laptop screen. So 9'' of my 20'' screen is texts and the rest of it is advertising crap and forum headers. I literally spend about 75-80% less time on the forum and for the time being quit sending people here to check out the forum. Have you ever tried to read thread or type a post that is 3'' wide on a 20'' screen? its unbearable and super hard on the old eyeballs.
I'm assuming that everyone got the same P/M- message that Jeff sent me saying that he hasn't been around the forum for a while now and that he has his guys working on these problems that were caused by the last forum update.
Which means he has been aware of the problem for over five weeks now. His p/m was a few weeks ago now yet the problem still exists. I know people that have made/ coded whole new forums in less than five weeks. I would be livid if I was Jeff, he has been paying for a product that isn't operating properly unless he made the choice to make the ad's take up the majority of the viewing area which I highly doubt.
This poem/haiku format is complete B.S. and there is absolutely no way that it is good for the health of this forum. I'd be incredibly pissed if I was paying for the forum to run properly like I'm sure
@TulsaJeff is. This problem is beyond Jeff's IT guys hands someone has to get in touch with Xenforo and tell them that their last update has caused coding issues that have disrupted the way text is written and read by some viewers.. I joined the Xenforo forums too try to figure out the bug that has infected ths Smoking-Meat forums but without some info from Jeff the web designers over on the Xenforo site will not respond too my questions about the Bug/glitch from the latest update. I see that Jeff did make as trial membership so new people can try out the forum without having the ad's cover most of the forums text which was a great move on his part.

if you can play around with your screen resolution I would wonder if that fixes things. I know some people use different resolutions on their monitors/screens so things are bigger and can be seen more easily OR there are people using older or smaller monitors that use a not so current wider format or more current resolution sizes.
