Patience is a virtue. This is a peer-to-peer forum, so any support is from other users.

Looks fine on my small netbook here, but I can see that this will be a problem on higher resolution screens.

You could expand the template to be a bit wider, but still fit to 1024px wide screens without horizontal scrollbars.

If you consider the BBC website (www.bbc.co.uk) one of the worlds most popular websites. This has a fixed width that is essentially 974px wide.

It is possible to have a variable width display - I personally don't like these too much as they make alignment difficult.

If you decide to target displays over 1024px only, you'll effectivly lose those users - they won't use your site.

What ever you decide, you will need to edit the template CSS files;

http://repairthatwatch.com/skins/Classic/styleSheets/layout.css

#pageSurround {

	width: 748px;

and

.colMid {

	position: relative;

	width: 403px;

	float: left;

}

So, if you add 100px to the pageSurround width, you can add 100px to the colMid width.

Back-up your store before making any changes.

No worries, its just forum etiquette.

Bump the thread after a few days if you get no replies, but not after a few hours unless you're actually paying for support.

Anyway, I hope my post pointed you in the right direction.
