On NO other forum do I have this problem.
The forum software isn't the problem, that seems to work without any issues. The problem lies with the website coding that's been written by a bunch of amateurs... there's spelling mistakes in the code, referrals to domains that cannot exist, and accesses to two messy CSS files (not to mention two javascript files that's given one user a security issue).

Apparently, the coders are aware of these issues.

... and that's it, so far.

In the meantime, an alleged "small number of users" become more and more alienated.

You can then create your own stylesheet to overwrite the one in use here.

For example in the one I've just created I have:

Code:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("www.photoradar.com") {

#container { width: 1230px !important; }
#main-col { width: 900px !important; }
.page { width: 900px !important; }
}
With that the site fills the screen a bit better at 1280px wide resolution. All I've done is increased the width of three selectors by 270px. If you have a higher resolution you just need to increase the width of those 3 selectors by a corresponding amount (eg for 1600px wide you'd need to increase by an extra 320px each).
... but we, the end-users, should not need to use any third-party scripts or applications to resolve a problem that wouldn't be there in the first place, had the website been written by people with a clue in the first place.
