I figured I would post it here and take my chances since there is no "webmaster" or "website suggestions" thread.
Does anyone else find that this forum being justified right makes it harder to read?
Would anyone else be in favor of justifying the text to the left?
Just wondering if I'm the only one having issues reading some of the longer, pasted posts.

Kerry, it does seem to make reading longer posts a bit more difficult.

If you were using a DECENT browser like Firefox, you would be looking at a perfectly normal LEFT JUSTIFIED display. Another triumph for Macro$haft.
(Sorry. I couldn't resist that.)

Hey, thanks for that!
Now, if the majority of people DID that would mean something.
I'm sure that, when Europeans come over here, they all think "Well if you blokes all drove on the correct side of the road..."
But since the MAJORITY of folks use Microsoft, whether it is shite or no, it only makes sense to design websites so that the majority of folks can read it okay, and THEN do what you can for you "advanced" viewers who use something else.

Thank you. That elitist diversion into the "nerd dimension" was uncalled for.

Webmaster(s):
The IE issue might be correctable by fussing with the align tags. The last item in the response header (Mail to a Friend) has a right tag. Perhaps IE is carrying that over. Alternatively something higher up in the page may be causing it. Just a thought.
Firefox, the old Mozilla and Opera all display the text block left aligned regardless of the immediately preceding tags. Interesting browser compatibility issue.
Others:
Give Firefox a try. It's free. It's faster. It's user customizable. It's more secure. It is gaining market share against IE because it is simply better. The much touted IE7s so-called "advances" (tabbed browsing for instance) are features the other browsers have had for years.
I have a computer service business. Probably 40% of my residential customers - none of whom can be described as "computer nerds" - have switched from IE. Most of them did it on their own. All of them are glad they did.
Firefox is available at: www.mozilla.com

actually, there are other benefits to NOT using IE. IE is the most assaulted browser when it comes to spyware and adware and the easiest for hackers to get into. even with the newest version, it's easier to hack into it than the original version of firefox was.
using firefox is not only smarter but more efficient too. anyone can use it and it's free, runs cleaner and has a more intuitive layout IMO.
i use firefox and do NOT use any type of anti-virus software and i've never had an issue. every once in a while i run some type of cleaner and all is well again. there are literally no issues, fireFTP is better than microsoft's ftp client, and the ONLY problems i've had with computers is when IE allowed some virus to do it's thing.
there are VERY few sites that force you to use IE anymore. when you have to (microsoft's sites), you can, then jump right back on mozilla firefox.

The simple fact is that the VAST majority of folks USE Internet Exploder...regardless of the constant rhetoric from IT folks, Microsoft haters, Linux Users, and the other TEN PERCENT of surfers who use ANYTHING other than Internet Exploder.

Keep preaching guys. Apparently people listen.
HOWEVER, as someone who owns a few domain names myself, I can tell you that it BEHOOVES webmasters to make websites IE compatible FIRST for the NEARLY NINETY PERCENT OF SURFERS WHO USE IE, and THEN tweak for the other TEN PERCENT of users.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make em drink...no matter HOW many times you beat them over the head with it.
