I need / want to go back to the old interface. This one does not wrap text, instead demanding the window be expanded to 80% of the screen width to display the posts
As I do other things at the same time, I can't afford to allow this screen to grab most of my desktop

Changes were definitely made to allow users to expand the screen to infinite sizes, but it does look like it'll only collapse about 30% or so from the default size.
I've forwarded this to the folks handling the feedback for the design!
I got it down to about 860pixels wide and mine wraps text on all of the forums pages I've seen so far. What width are you trying to get to, as well as what browser are you using?
So, 1280 x 1024 is the resolution of your screen? Or the main window of your browser? I run on a 2560 x 1600 screen, but I pulled the Fatwallet forums down to 860px width and it wraps as you go.
What width in pixels? or % of your 1280 x 1024 resolution (if that's the display size) are you looking for?
Not sure I know how to count pixel width, but text wrap stops when the FireFox browser is down to about 80% of the screen. After that the horizontal scroll bar appears
Your guess at 80% is pretty close. 80% of 1024 is 819px. It stops wrapping text when the horizontal scrollbar at the bottom shows up, which is right around 860px.
we can take a look at what could be done to allow for more narrow screen widths, but this is the format for now, no rolling back unless the data shows it.
L0stman said:Which data is this that you refer to?I think the data being referred to includes us examining how the site is actually used. Most of the suggestions we get are fantastic, but it doesn't always mean they're exactly right for the way the FatWallet community actually conducts their day-to-day business.
With IE8, I can shrink the window width to about 800 pixels before the lower slider bar kicks in. Perhaps its the browser. Anyway, there was enough hot deals here to purchase a widescreen monitor for cheap! Keep an eye out for those deals. That's why you're here.
