I have a very wide monitor that I don't need to have the browser full screen. Also I have the ability to zoom in or out. I think all browsers have that same ability. If things are too large try zooming out. Some browsers respond to a ctrol + mouse wheel. 

Another thing that makes it all more compact is if you got to your User Controls go to Additional Options and check the option that shows user avatars. It cleans things up quite a bit... but then you have to actually read the user names.

Hi, stevec. Yeah, with a bit of fiddling I've gotten it all to be a little more manageable. When they first changed it I wasn't sure if I could handle the new format but I've gotten used to it now.

Still some differences between IE 10 and Firefox 21, but a massive improvement. Well done Cakewalk.
 
Differences I've spotted - in Firefox, even with anti-tracking add-ins turned off, the post count, reward points etc. box is missing as are sigs and the essential/full buttons.

Definitely interesting, I'm not seeing the same myself. Have you tried CTRL + F5 in Firefox?
 
What addons/extensions do you have running?

Loads of add-ins, but CTRL+5 sorted it. Thanks.
 
There's a huge amount of white space in any browser though - much less per browser page (1920x1080 screen). Not enough to trigger migraines which some sites with loads of white space do though, thankfully. Oddly, zooming out reduces the (in my opinion) over-large font size but does nothing to reduce the amount of browser space each post occupies.
 
Mind you, I'm in the middle of installing/configuring Microsoft's latest almost misbegotten attempt to take over the world, aka Windows 8, so it's quite possible there's something I haven't sussed out yet.

Try it.  This is the site I'm currently working on:  http://www.nwclips.com/main.sc
 
Or, embedded in text, try clicking HERE.
 
Everything works for me.

 
John - mine is too, however, I inserted a direct link:
 
www.beaglesound.com
 
hit enter to make it "live" then if you select it, the "EDIT LINK" or "UNLINK" becomes "active" when you mouse over them.

I just paste URLs into the text box and it automatically creates a hyperlink. The Add Link function is unnecessary and probably why it's grayed out in this version.

@Paulo... You can use an HTML code to do it on most sites. I'm not sure if it will work here and I'm gonna try to post the code for you using another set of HTML tags that is supposed to disable HTML tags so you can post code but that may not work either. Let's see...

Nope. Didn't work at all. Oh well. Might work on BB code instead but I don't know the link ones for that.

Thanks for trying - on the old forum it was easy, but I'm not fussed enough to be bothered with it if it's gonna be a performance.

[survey=Maybe if I type in here]I wonder what this multi survey thingie does.
 
Nothing I guess. Boooring.

How did you do that ? I can insert links ok, but can't see how to name the link now (FF or IE)

 
In the full version of reply there's an HTML button that, if you click it, will show you the HTML and allow you to edit it.  The normal link insertion simply copys the URL as the text so all you need to do is change the second occurrance to whatever you want displayed.  I'm very used to just typing [url=sldkjlsdkjf.com]TEXT[/url] but this no longer works with the upgrade...  You can't insert images with [img]imageURL.jpg[/img] anymore either.  Bah.

 
 
 
Wow, what a faff ! Don't you just love it when making things worse / more difficult is considered an improvement ?
 
Thanks for the info

 
TYPE YOUR TEXT, highlight it, then click on the link icon, and paste in the URL

I can't figure out how to embed a Youtube video though.

Got it!!
 

 
You have to use the 'break link' icon on the URL.
