I don't know if this is the same problem Sofaspud is seeing, but. I have a ridiculously wide monitor, 1920x1200, because you can't buy 1600x1200 anymore. If I make my browser window wider than 1600 pixels on any (HTML) page on this site, a second copy of the black bar at the left appears, on the right, and the page content does stretch onto and beyond that bar. On some pages, where the text is black and drawn directly on top of the main background image, this does mean that parts of the text are drawn in black-on-black and are therefore unreadable. The front page and the "What's New" page are examples. (Contrast the top-level UF page, where the same thing happens, but the text is white, so it's still readable.)

This is happening because the black bar is part of the background image for the whole page, and all of those images are 1600 pixels wide and being applied via "legacy presentation attributes" rather than CSS, so you don't have any control over whether or not they repeat horizontally. A reasonable patch would be to add this attribute to every single BODY element on the entire site:

style="max-width: 1590px; background-repeat: repeat-y; background-color: black;"

That way, you still get a black bar at the far right, but it'll be as wide as it needs to be -- no second copy of the background graphic beyond it -- and the content won't stretch over the bar.

If it is easier to do it this way (frex if it can be done in one place rather than dozens), adding a STYLE tag to the HEAD with the contents

body { max-width: 1590px; background-repeat: repeat-y; background-color: black; }

would have the same effect (it's just a different way of writing the same thing).
