in reply to Using frames for layout

I dont think frames is the solution. Having screens that are too big still is a hell of a lot better than frames in 99% of the scenarios (in my humble opinion, of course).
Perhaps narrowing the node text width on the main pages would bring in the side bar and help out the overall width problem.

I have to say that a 21" monitor would also solve your problem :)

    How about putting the nodelets on the left hand side. That will allow us to see them, but also allow the width to grow. I think it would be a nice compromise.

      I sort of like having the nodelets on the right so my mouse usually stays next to the scroll bar. Less mouse movement for me that way.

      No putting the boxes on the left is a really rotten idea, unless you make it configureable. I like to be able to ignore them, this will be much harder is they're on the left. If you put the boxes on the left, then I have to shift everything right just to read the main text.
