It may be getting worse, I suspect your changes have screwed up the page formatting on my computer at least, something changed this evening and I can no longer read the full width of any posting or see the full width of the active topics page, I have to use the scroll bar on every line, even typing this I cant read what I have written, a lot of it is off the screen.
That compounded with having to jump through the "not now I'll consider it later" hoop every time I visit even if its 5 minutes after the last time, the way that the page jumps around as the adverts are loading meaning that when you click on the button for the recent posts of a topic it invariably takes you somewhere else because the page jumped, that problem being much much worse on a phone (no adblocker = more adverts) when I only get to where I wanted to be one time out of 5, typing this but not being able to see the words because they are hidden behind a big blue Chat box etc etc means that as things stand at present the forum is unusable for me on my computer or phone.
A shame, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
I cant even find the create post button to post this, when I scroll across its hidden behind the big blue chat box, plus it will probably lose it like it often does with longer postings or quotes, I will copy it first.

And for all the grief that it may have caused (if it was that) there is not even a banner image at the top any more!

My laptop 'adjusted' itself to 125% zoom. I don't remember asking it to Easily fixed, though, using the three vertical dots in the top RH corner of the page.

I presume for the moment it's been removed as I don't see it

Not the zoom, I was at 110% which tells you my eyesight finds it hard anyway, I have to reduce to 80% to see what I am writing find the post & reply buttons etc, except at 80% I can see but not read.
I hope its resolved because otherwise its the end for me.

Part of the problem is/was the width attribute of the page, before it was set at 90%, which is fine with a non-image background, but an image is sized in pixels so if there's an image, the ideal is to have the width attribute in px, it was 1250px before, I've now changed it to 1215px, which was the equivalent width on my screen at 90%.
I'm not sure what you mean, pcpa, by "a big blue Chat box"; if you click on the 'x' it closes, and if it's open in the centre of the screen, none of the forum page buttons behind it are actionable until you close it.

I think pcpa might have other problems .. I don't see any adverts at all on my laptop but do see the (empty) proboard advert boxes on my Android tablet. Nothing jumps around on my screen neither on laptop nor tablet and I can read everything just fine.

If the width is any better then its minutely so, I have to go down to 80% to get all the screen in and I cannot read postings or what I have typed at that reduction.
The blue chat box does not have an X to click on.
Regarding the adverts I have Adblock on the computer so dont see them but the empty box when it loads makes the screen image jump around, its a problem on many sites and not just this one, if I had a super fast computer I probably wouldn't realise, its much much worse on the phone, its hard enough for me to use the tiny screen anyway with only one eye, you cannot judge what you are clicking (touching really) impossible t the beginning even without the screen contents dancing around, FFS at some stage made the button bigger and a clearer colour which helped.
So to recap since whatever was done for a banner image the forum is only useable on my computer at 80% and I need minimum 110% magnification on this and many other sites for my vision.
I hope that you will be able to do something.

pcpa, can you post a screenshot of your computer's view of the forum, with the blue chat box on it?

That is beyind my skillset, Icannot even post a photo on this forum (another downside) its at the bottom right but not in the corner, perfectly aligned to cover the "reply" or "post" buttons.
No X but it had a red dot, I clicked on that & the chat thing opened,no interest to me so I closed it and now the red dot has gone.
Its severely straining my eyes at 80% so I am only looking in to see if it has improved & not to read or contribute, Ican't understand why you would have chosen 90% ¬ 100% for the default full screen albeit mine has to be 80%.

As suein56 said, "I think pcpa might have other problems .."
Your problem is possibly lack of effort, at least when you're on the computer. This is what I see when the Chat bubble/button covers the Reply button...
And this is the result when I scroll down the same page, just a little effort...

I do wonder sometimes if certain people need their hands held for every little step in a brave new world. You're a grown man, John.

Lacking effort as well, please deactivate my account.
