Hi Bunuel

Is there a away to get rid of the commercials at the right side of the questions on the forum(the new layout), because those commercials block a part of the question, making it harder to read the question in full? Is there a solution?

We are working on fixing this. In the meantime, you can reduce the scale by 10%.

Just so you know. I have my screen scale on 100%, which is considerd low by Microsoft and i cannot go lower than that and the problem still persists. The next choice i have is to go to 125%, which is considerd normal by microsoft, but that would only exacerbate the problem, i guess.

PS: I have Window 7
