I access the site from a few different computers. One of these does use 600X800 and it is a little more work, but this does not bother me that much. I just move the pane so that I see the post and not the icons on the left.
I have more problems with the pages loading slow. I have a pretty fast computer with a DSL connection, so I am not sure if I have a setting wrong on my computer or if everyone else experiences this also.
