I don't like fixed width pages personally (my computer should do what I
want, not what someone else wants me to want), but you can appease more
reasonable people by changing "width: NNNpx" statements to "width: NNem"
or "max-width: NNem".

I'm trying to view the new theme but having a problem logging into help! I've
never seen this type of problem before, perhaps someone out there has.
