It's easier to read is the answer - a very wide screen with a completely fluid width is terrible to read. A sentence the whole width of a 24" screen really sucks. But it's much easier to read when it's more like a book. And newspapers have always been narrow columns for a reason - it's easier to read. I have three monitors on my system, all running at once - one 19" in portrait at 1024x1280, one 19" at 1280 x 1024, and a 24" at 1920x1080. Guess which one I READ on - for most stuff, especially wide pages - the portrait monitor - WAY better than the 24" unless I narrow the window.
On our design, we have tried to combine easy to read and deal with big pictures - if the pictures are too wide, the layout accommodates that and goes as wide as needed. So hopefully the best of both worlds.
We ARE carefully looking at the whole issue of width - it's been VERY much discussed with MANY experts and users, and a seriously thought about issue. Nothing is final - we'll see.

I hoped our troubles since last change were over, even when I never egained the ability to save my Unread option in the cookie.

See the "New Posts" button in the blue bar below the "Welcome..." box. Still there, unchanged. (when logged in only)

I have NO idea how you did that - unless you're talking about the automatic way it does that.
I clearly don't know everything that can be done, there's just way too much to ever know it all well, but be assured it was never "removed". The software that runs the HUBB - vBulletin - has been upgraded several times in the last three years, and there are definitely some things they removed - not me - and also added a lot.
If you can tell me EXACTLY how you saved unread I'll see what I can find out.
NOTE that it
should do that automatically - it certainly does for me and on several browsers I have tried. You do have to login for it to work though. Perhaps try logging in and OUT to clear the cookie, then back in to start a fresh one and see what happens.
You can also use the Quick Links to Mark (ALL) Forums Read, and in a forum the Forum Tools to mark that forum read.
Hope that helps!
