    I know this may sound really dumb, but is it possible that you have accidentally scrolled down your resolution in FireFox? The background is 1920x1080 exactly, so there should be no black bars on either side. Try opening FireFox, holding CTRL and using your mouse wheel to scroll up. It should change the scale. You want it at 100%.


    This forum uses what is called a fixed width. Meaning the forum body, from left to right, will always span 960px. No matter how big or small your screen is. So this means that the bigger your monitor gets, the more space on the left and right of the forum you will see. Essentially revealing more of whatever background image is being used. Our old forum used a fluid width. Which is always set to what is referred to as "100%" width. It is not based on a pixel count but rather how big your monitor is. The left and right edges of the forum would always reach each side of your monitor, no matter the size. So we are back to fixed. It is how we used to have it before the last look and is also what we have when Battlefieldo gave us their 3.0 theme. If you're using a new, bigger monitor it may take some getting used to. Ultimately things like font size, avatars, quoting, alert bubbles and all that good stuff are the same as they always were. The idea of using fixed is to leave that space on the sides to have pretty backgrounds.


    Thx :D

    Personally it feels too dark for me but I'll get over it.

    On my phone, I can't scroll in the shout box. It just becomes a vibrating box...

    Try not using the scrollbar but scroll by swiping the text within the shoutbox.

    So very sorry but that got traded away a very long time ago... it was shriveled and dark anyway. I probably got the better end of the deal, the taco was delicious
