Pretty sure they have a policy of wanting to make it suck.

1155251 2010-11-22 05:40:00 The page was centered.

So what, it is not a big deal.

"Was" being the key word there. It's fine now (at least on my PC).

1155253 2010-11-22 05:46:00 So what, it is not a big deal. Its harder to read when pushed off to one side. The majority of normal people focus on the center of a screen when reading something. Pushed off to one side makes it uncomfortable reading. wainuitech (129)
1155254 2010-11-22 05:51:00 So, wainuitech, install Adblock Plus and Element Hiding Helper and YOU 8am control how it looks. I see no banner and no right hand side bar... johcar (6283)
1155255 2010-11-22 05:54:00 I use adblock plus.

This is on the left, with a huge WHITE blank space on the side.

This site is an EPIC Fail.


If it's not broken, Don't fix it.

Potentially, however peoples avatars and things are on the left-hand side which means that it's balanced up a little further.

Previously the "thread" material would start half-way into the page from the left. This is just on the opposite side...

1155257 2010-11-22 06:56:00 Here's a rough comparison between the two;

New (www.imagef1.net.nz) layout
Old (www.imagef1.net.nz) layout (only screenshot I had lying around)

Red lines show where the 'main page content' margins are.

1155259 2010-11-22 06:59:00 I just noticed, URLs aren't underlined until you hover! Blends it a bit more...

So far, I like it, with the exception of the minor overhang issue.
