Actually, the above is happening if you resize it at all.

At a rough guess, it looks like at some point you are adding padding to the some of the columns (Boards.ie, Adverts.ie, games and hosted by the looks of it). Every time the window calls a refresh, it adds more padding, hence pushing everything else across.

Can you give us full details of your set-up. OS, Browser and any unusual network settings your aware of(e.g. proxy server, VPN etc)
Windows XP
Chrome
Not aware of any network stuff
I think it was also happening when I tested it before at home, which would be Windows Vista, Chrome, and also on the iPad (Safari)

This is a small and petty thing I admit, but if you choose the full width version, if renders it in small size, and only then resizes it, almost like an afterthought, something which I find a little irksome.

I like the new site but there are many glitches when using my iPad, lots of things I can't do that I could before,magnifying the words to select where I want to type next being one.

It should do that once, as it needs to load the full width or cozy mode CSS file. Once that file is cached, it becomes seamless.

The only reasons I can think why this wouldn't occur is that either your browser didn't cache the full width CSS file, or it didn't cache your style preferences and has to fetch them from the server after every page load.

What's your browser, version and OS?

We are aware there are numerous issues with viewing the new skin on an iPad but please bear in mind that the new design is not optimised or designed with an iPad in mind. We'll resolve as many issues as we can though.

This should be resolved for you now. I'm going to dig into this bug again, I might be gone for some time

WinXP and Firefox 14. And I've made sure the page is finished loading, and it still does it after that.

Why did you change the forum menu at the top to blue?

Having this problem as well.

Honestly, I think it looked and felt better before this update. There seems to be more of a delay now when hovering over the drop-down menu. Also, I liked it more when it was white for some reason. The breadcrumbs bar doesn't look as good now either imo, but I understand that people had an issue with it being transparent.

Firefox 14 is currently in Beta. Firefox 13.0.1 is the current stable version. I've tested Full Width in Windows XP with Firefox 13.0.1, I get the initial "pop" after I change into full width mode but after that everything else works as intended with no more resizing after the page content is rendered.

If you are on Firefox 14 then I would recommend changing back to 13 until 14 becomes stable. If you are on 13 then please ensure local storage is working properly and that your cache is enabled.

I'd a love for the button with the number of notifications to bring you automatically to the thing it's notifying you about, instead of just the control panel. Can't get out of the habit of pressing it, that extra navigation through the drop down is a bit awkward.

Also "view first unread" only works for me the second time I click it (Chrome Version 20.0.1132.47, Mac OS 10.5.8).

It would be great if clicking on the thread name in subscriptions brought you to the last post read like it does in mobile.

Otherwise enjoying the new look, very promising.

Breadcrumb div

I like the changes to the breadcrumb. However, I noticed that it's still hiding forum content underneath it. When I scroll a whole page down (using scroll bar, spacebar or PgDown), I have to scroll back up again (3 Up Arrow key presses is usually enough) to see the top-most content.

I'm currently using Safari 4.1.3 on Mac OS X 10.4. I get the same with Firefox 3.6 (latest version of Firefox that will work with this now-old version of Mac OS). I'll try and test this on a newer setup with more recent browser versions.

The delay between when you hit the menu item and when the menu appears hasn't changed, however the background of the menu item now takes the same amount of time to change. There were a few reasons why we did this, mostly it was was to get around a horrible bug in chrome that causes the first item in the menu to be activated randomly.

To be honest I was curious to see if anyone would notice this change. We'll look into it some more though as you're right, the instant feedback feels faster.

Back sooner than I thought. This bug should not crop up again on the new skin or on the old Beta skin but if it does you know where to post
