Page layout issues...

Lee,

I understand the need for ads, but I'm becoming frustrated with the amount of real estate they seem to be taking up. Here's a screen shot of the Forum Home page on my 1920 x 1080 monitor..As you can see well over 50% of the vertical space is ads or other non-content, which means a load of scrolling to get to the real content. Could we not make the width of the central ads smaller so it compresses vertically, and/or maybe even move one of them to the empty top right hand banner space?



The second issue I have is that a number of pictures don't seem to scale correctly so the 'close' box is off the screen? Scrolling right doesn't always help and you have to make the window larger but sometimes you can't make it large enough. Is this a fault of the picture poster not setting the size small enough or the forum software not scaling it to the screen size?
