I've just realized what you mean.
You have to scroll slightly to the right to view the whole page.

Thats because our front page is optimized for 1024 x 768. So I presume you are using 800 x 600.

most of the time yes. Reverend can give a better explanation as to why it happens but suffice it to say it does. Try hitting the refresh and see if that works for ya...

i am using 800 x 600 Like i said our front page is optimized for 1024 x 768 and above. Using 800 x 600 will require you to scroll right.

I use a higher res (1600 X 1200) and find that (sometimes) a refresh helps. But I know what you are talking about. Happens only in Firebird/Firefox.

I'll say it again. Our front page is optimized for 1024x768 and above.

Using 800 x 600 or lower will require you to scroll right regardless of how many times you refresh.

Our tables have to be wider so that we can fit the content in. If i was to specify a set pixel width rather than a % width the tables would get screwed when viewing at a lower res.

Biker, it could be Firebird's beta rendering engine, that might not be compressing or resizing the images correctly, thus requiring you to scroll. Also, Rev stated that the frontpage is optimised for 1074x768 resolution, so at 800x600 you are asking big things from the browser.
