When viewing the bikeradar.com site using Firefox, the CSS could use a tweak. Currrently, all content is hard up against the left-hand frame of the window.

It's the same using IE7. It's be nice to have a little margin or padding at the sides, so there's some space between content and frame when the window isn't maximised.

    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    I included a screenshot in my first post. The site looks OK if the browser window is maximised, because the site is centred in the window. However, if the browser width is narrower than the page width, even scrolled all the way to the left there's no whitespace between the text and the browser frame. Just adding a few pixels of margin-left or padding-left on the body element would be enough.

    I do realise it's a very minor gripe, but it struck me immediately, the first time I viewed the site. A single 'I' on a new line gets lost against the frame, for example.

    Much better - it's easier to read the articles now and the 'Also on Bikeradar' panel has popped back to where it's supposed to be.

    Awesome! Thanks webguy, very responsive.

    Hi, me and Andy have been working on the refreshed design for about 6 weeks, tidying up as much as possible :) we think it looks a lot better than before, we hope you agree!
