Some time this year it seemed like the width of the index sections had changed. The left hand column is narrower. The writing in each box/ section of the left hand side, now requires more lines to supply the text. That creates more scrolling to reach down the page. If you have a look at the following attachments (i am not sure if it will show up in the window, or if you need to click on it to see the pictures), it will better reveal what i am trying to explain.

There are two pictures of the whole desktop.
-The tool bar that most people have on the bottom of the screen, i have actually moved to the left; that is one picture.
-The other picture shows the more conventional toolbar on the bottom of the screen. I have provided the two pictures to show that although there is a slight improvement by having the toolbar at the bottom of the screen, it is not much difference, and that the left column is still rather narrow.
There seems to be a bit of space in the middle column that is wasted, yet the left hand column is quite a bit squashed.

The resolution of the screen is set at 1280 x 1024 and i have not changed it, so i speculating that the change occurred at the forum side rather than my computer. I imagine my screen resolution may be exaggerating the column squashing.

Would it be a big ask to request a consideration of re adjustments to a point that does not compromise other users, but also improves the 16% ( What is my screen resolution/display resolution? - Screen resolution statistics ) of people on the 1280 to 1024 resolution?

Is there anything else i can do other than compromising or going backwards on my screen resolution?

It is not a major issues, but i thought i would put it forward here.

Thanks
