The most popular sidebar widgets on the left and right of the site previously weren't working - they now reflect the same rankings I'm seeing in our traffic stats.

Checkout whats up there, it's interesting to see what's getting the most views and how the articles stack up we've been posting:
www.overclockers.com

The vast majority of items in all of these lists were produced and contributed to by this news team. Good work guys!

EDIT: Please note, all of these most popular stats are only taken from the time Wordpress was launched.

Don't know if this is the right place, but anyway

Any chance the site could have auto scalling? My laptop (the POS it is) can only display up to 1024x768. The left bars are off my normal view so I don't see them unless I scroll on over.

That's a no go. It would screw up our article formatting if things were allowed to auto scale.

I made a choice early on in the design to cater to larger displays. The analytics data we have suggests dialup and displays at 1024x768 are in a very small minority - so it's less convenient for small displays.

For the vast majority though the site does a good job at utilizing the available screen space on modern displays - compare the width of our site to anandtech.com.

EDIT: In a small sample, 1.5% of visitors have dialup. Less than 15% of visitors have a screen resolution less than 1280 pixels wide.
