* Private Entries - users may set specific entries to be private while leaving their blog open.

Gary,

I seem to have a small issue. I run IE 7.0 and use the "Opel GT Style" skin, and with the changes, my view of the main page seems to have "narrowed", such that perhaps an inch (19 inch LCD monitor, 1152x864) is just blank space along the edges. Not a huge deal but the thread headings are now taller to fit the title and such in.

Hmm, now that I compare, it seems that all the Forum pages are narrower by the same amount. Perhaps it was always that way, but it is now very obvious on the home page. The other skins (imagize and VBulletin3) use more of the monitor width, but I kinda' like the "Opel GT Style" skin.

Any ideas?

The same here (please see attached screenshot), unless this is due to the cold weather up here in Canada.

Keep up great job Garry and Happy New Year.
