Stacey, I have widescreen. 

Back when the forums first changed to CSS, and there was a CSS forum, many of us with widescreens were using CSS scripts so that everything displayed as widescreen instead of having the forums squished into the middle.

I know I posted what the forums should look like for me based on the tutorial page look, but actually that is incorrect.  It should actually look more like the first image I posted, only the forum stretched all the way to the right next to the side bar.  So my forum display went from the far left to the far right side of my screen without all of that border on both sides.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
