Summary0000019: Increase review width
DescriptionCurrently the text of the review isn't using the full size of the available space, and taking in account new long reviews it would be better to make use of it IMO.

well,

that depends on your screen resolution, doesn't it?
but I guess the table could be a little wider.
is anyone here browsing at 1024x768, how much space is left?

BYe!

No, there is a gap at both sides, and it's a big gap!
Tested with 1024x768 and a 20-30% of the screen is not used.

Well, the right side of the table ends where the Search field box starts and thre's about 2,5 cm space between the review table and the left frame.

Here's a suggestion, currently, the scores for separate categories of the anime are in a column right of the review text with some additional stuff like the send message feature. All that can be put in a row instead, it would be located on top of the review text. Something like this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                         Animation: x Story: x Value: x Review Rating: x(x votes)
Avg Rating: xx-------------------------------------Other reviews by <name>
                         Sound: x Character: x Enjoyment: x Contact <name>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Or perhaps there's a better combination.

-__- it took many tries to draw this ascii table, the input and output of the text are not proportional !

You can use HTML tags here, so enclosing that part in < PRE > < /PRE > tags would set that part to a fixed size font.

Suggest this is done (with fixed padding each side of block rather than fixed block size) as part of review page markup rewrite.

Actually, I don`t really mind the current layout. While one can discuss how it doesn`t make much of the page, it does keep a good overview.
You COULD move the review a cm or so to the left, since there is only the menu there with a space of 2-3 cm (as big as the search box) between the menu-art and the actual review.

I suppose the right part, containing only the search-box is reserved for the search box? If it is possible, can`t we just stretch the review to the right and have the ratings-box in the same row below the search-box?

So it looks like we have 2 options to 'stretch' the review. But isn`t this also related to the issue where someone requested to have 'summaries' (i.e. the first 100 chars) displayed and then you get a link to expand the review? I cannot find it currently, but I think it might have some relation or similarities for people who believe the current reviews are too long to have them all below each other like this.

[edit] Ouch. A 2 year-gap before a to-do? [/edit]
