Im wondering if it is from a picture we opened, and maybe it changed our settings? I will try to reboot my PC when I get home and see if it puts it back to normal. My screen at work is fine.

I took Tpatna's idea and rebooted my system. Results are 'no difference'. Still expanded screen.
Just a suggestion to look into:
On other occasions when someone posts a extra large picture or string of characters that will not break and allow it to fill a smaller space, the thread has expanded like this one did. I"m wondering IF someone placed a photo or data on the page and this was the results. It would have been about the time of 19th to the 21st. As I remember it happening.

I sometimes see a larger screen on opening but the forum defaults have always resized the screen to be right after opening.

I use Mozilla/Firefox also and it has not changed on me since I have been coming here.
Perhaps your computer resolution got changed somehow. I do not know where to check that on a Mac though.

I run IE6 and have no problems
I do not know whether it is relevant but my autoresising is on
I was told on a chartforum if I turn this off a thumnail will expand into a huge size ( which is what you want if you look at a chart )
Autoresising is under internet options

I have checked all the settings that you have mentioned, and it still hasn't corrected the problem.
The initial opening frame is the only time the screen is expanded, and the rest of the time the forum is responding exactly as it has been all along. Only the opening frame is oversize, and from that time on everything is O.K.
this is what makes me believe something was added to this page a couple of days ago that makes it do this.

OK, I have a hunch.
Those of you this is happening to, please get me the exact URL of the offending page.
Please cut and paste it in a post here.

Wow! I clicked on the URL and it gave me the expanded page again. Didn't expect that. But what does that mean?

I tried clicking on your Tpatna, and it was normal.
This page has always been normal on my machine, it's the first opening page that is the problem.
May have solved the problem, or at least eliminated the need to find it to the far right. I just open on the "All Forums" page and skip the first page. Works for me and guess I'm not missing too much be doing this. ( I hope)

I have a brand new Dell, and have no such problems.
I use Macs at my place of business, and also don't have a similar problem.
Hope it's solved soon Old Dan!

OK. I get OldDan's broken front page in Firefox 1.0.7 (cleared cache), but not IE. For the record, my desktop resolution is at 1680x1050.

Solved the problem; as this was the only page that was giving me any problems, I simply went around it and now open either on All forums or on one of the other forums. Got them numbered and eliminated the middle man, so to speak.
