stupid question about page format

[goresnet]

On my computer at work, the home page is center-justified with some empty blue on either side of all the text. On my home pc, it seems like it fills the screen, from left to right, no empty blue sides. On both monitors the resolution is 1280x1024. Zoom at 100% and text size medium. Work pc IE6, home pc IE9 beta. My home pc used to fit like my work pc, even when I had IE8. However, the change started before the switch to IE9, so I don't believe that's a factor. My 21 month old son loves pushing buttons on the keyboard, and I'm wondering if there is something he could have inadvertantly changed, that I'm not aware of. Any ideas?

Under "Settings: Site Preferences" (upper top right side of the page). Click on the options for "Site Width" and see which one you prefer . Let me know if this helps.

LOL. I never thought about the empty blue on the sides, but now I will every time.

hmmm. changing it to forced 1024 got me the look I wanted. Strange. Either way, 1024 or 1280, in my price tracker, the very left of the price graph gets cut off! Guess I'll leave it at 1280. Changing it there also changes the forum, and now that just looks funny with the blue sides! Thanks Blu Titan
