On smaller resolutions the new Forum buddy does not work at all due to the size of the middle section. The only way to see it is to zoom out, but then all the text becomes too small to read. There should be an option to keep the buddy in the central section or not.

It isn't viewable when using window snapping in Win7 either. There's no way to scroll to the left to see it but I can see the main white background part of the forums fine. I'm using 1920x1200 so snapping cuts the window down to 960x1200 and it still doesn't fit into view.

Interesting, it sounds like the scaling is just buggy on the site.

Where would you place it in the central section (presumably by that meaning the main site)?

Well what I imagined is aving the buddy float over the main section, if the main sectin takes up the entire resolution, but be somewhat minimized, expanding on a mouse over. I understand that having it like before leaves a whole column that is unsused, but all the content could at least fit well enough.

Oh yeah, the other best suggestion is to make it scrollable so we can scroll to the side and see it then.
