Any specific areas of my site that I'd like feedback on, if any: I am using the "fluid" setting at 90% and the site looks quite nice on my wide screen monitor. I would appreciate anyone who has or uses a 14" to 17" screen to look at the site to see if it it looks OK without scrolling required on the smaller screens. I've had reports that the formatting of the "right" position where the advertising is located becomes broken when scrolling is required. According to Google Analytics 95% of visitors are using resolutions of 1024 x 768 or greater so it may not be an issue but I'm troubled that I cannot resolve the problem.

Hey David.... you are right to worry... I'm stuck on a 17" at 1024x768 and your site is blown completely out on the right hand margin. Also, the ads you have in the right hand skyscraper position are so long that the page takes about 5 pages down to get to the bottom of... but you can't see them because the are off the right hand side of the screen
In the "gadget review" area, about 1/5 of the way down the page in the right hand column is a review with a graphic and it looks like the review's that contain graphics are pushing everything off the right hand margin even further. - Carving Canyons, Taking Trips, Cracking the Ton: www.motoescapism.com

Thanks for the confirmation and feedback.
I saw lots of views of my post and then realized that my homepage pointed to a placeholder menu item. I've changed the homepage to show the first page with content.
I managed to get my hands on a computer with a 15" CRT 1048 x 768 screen and attached below is a screenshot of the website scrolled all the way to the right.
I am using only user3, user4 and right (width 130). Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can correct this?
Thank you.

Look for the module-hilite6 entries and play with the padding/margin directives.
Also look at the table.sections WIDTH entry. It's currently set to 100% so adding the RIGHT hand module position is probably causing the margin blowout. you can either reduce that percentage or move your right hand modules to USER 5 / USER 6 so that it appears under your main content.
It looks like you might have a TON of javascript loading in the page too... you might want to consider cutting that stuff down to improve performance. - Carving Canyons, Taking Trips, Cracking the Ton: www.motoescapism.com
