I have a simple comment about the layout of the forums - the page is more narrow than most web sites these days. It is as if it is optimized for 800x600 monitor resolution instead of 1024 (width).

The result is that pictures that are larger require side to side scrolling. I do not know the format for this blogspot.com, or if this is fixable, but smaller width gives the site a somewhat antiquated look and it makes seeing pictures much more difficult.

Most web sites these days adjust to the size of the monitor, or else are 1024 pixels minimally.

Another somewhat silly thing is that every time I open up a larger picture of a layout (in the blog section, not the forums) It loses my spot in the blog, so if I hit the back button I am not where I was before opening the picture. I did finally discover the "X" to close the picture and to return to where I was - but this is not standard web usage. It would easier just to have tags that make each larger picture open in a different tab so you do not lose your place. The same thing happens is you click on "comments" and then try to go back to the regular blog - you lose your place. I am not even sure why the site works that way since it is not the way browsers are designed to work.

I am not saying this is critical - I am just curious if anyone else noticed this and has been vexed by it as I have been.
