OMFG, what have you done?

Another fixed-width complainer

Overall not bad. I like the classical three columns for the articles - kind of what gives el reg its character - but can see things need to evolve so fair enough...

I have to agree about the fixed-width complaints. It really doesn't cater for those with a widescreen resolution. At 1920 x 1200 (yes I've got a flashy monitor) literally half the screen is dead space.

If you have to have fixed width - why not fix width the feature side bar, but not the main body section. At least then more stories will appear on the front page (which I'd prefer) and more importantly the articles would not require endless scrolling. This is the main bug bear.

I know it sounds like a rant, but what's the point in having higher resolutions if we're forced to stick with narrow pages?
