I think it looks good.

I generally like it but I have the same problem as Pixel - the scrolling from right to left is driving me nuts and giving me a headache. I'm using Safari on a Mac - does that have anything to do with it?

I've never tried safari on a MAC, but can you zoom out & increase the text size? It seems to work for some people but not others - it's fine on my iPhone which uses a modified version of Safari

Rustybear, just came on to see if anything has improved but unfortunately not.

I'm using Internet Explorer, which I've never had a problem with before.

Zooming out so the horizontal scroll bar disappears has helped some people, though there may then be problems with text size - some people seem able to change it & others don't. Starlight has a similar problem & it got a bit better when she changed her screen resolution - see this thread the posts today.
The bbc news site seems to cause similar problems for starlight & the link in my 12:18:58 post may explain things better than I do (I'm awful at online/phone help, as I always need to actually do stuff to remember where everything is)

Thanks for the suggestions, Rustybear but nothing seems to help at the moment. I've got to solve it though, as I nearly always have to split the screen with dd because our computer is our tv too!

Ok, I changed the screen resolution and everything now fits on the page but everything is ridiculously tiny, not just on Mumsnet but on everything else I want to look at.
I might just seem bolshy now but 1/ I like to flit between sites keeping an eye on different things. Why should I have a choice between putting up with everything being titchy tiny or having to reset the screen resolution every time I want to pop on to Mumsnet? A problem has been caused that wasn't there before and it isn't my fault.
2/ I already have bad eyesight and I'm not going to risk making it any worse by peering at the screen thank you very much.

Sorry Rusty, I'm not having a go at you, you are doing your best to be helpful and I do appreciate it, but this just isn't funny any more.

Ok, something has to be done about the thread titles being cut off! I just read a title,

"Have you ever made the decision to cut your mother..." !! Very weird!!

Hi, that's OK Pixel - I hate having to scroll horizontally too, so I know how annoying it is. There are lots of people complaining about the big margins, but if they weren't there you & starlight would have even worse problems - at least they cam zoom in & the text is readable.

Is this any help with changing the overall font size?
