Is there an option where we can get more pix of the boys on both sides?

Yum, yum. Never enough, but every little bit helps, eh? Oh, and don't think I missed this: That said, I do hope you enjoy what you find here, and that your mother won't go *mental* if she ever discovers you reading it.
Speaking for myself, I've already gone, which should save me the trip then the time comes.
BTW - Aren't you about due for panto? x

Honestly, I really dislike the new sidebar because I use a netbook and the fixed width that you have on the sidebar makes the center column so narrow it's almost unreadable. Personally, I would have either the right picture or the left sidebar, but not both. However, if you really want both, keep the sidebar on the left and make it's width a percentage of the screen instead of fixed width (and you'll also have to change the center column so that the left margin is a percentage as well) so that it's still readable by people on netbooks.

I don't comment often, but I love your stories. :)

The sidebar has to be a fixed width, there isn't the option for a percentage. What I've done is change the centre column to a fixed width also, so hopefully it should be better for you.

Let me know x

If you edit the CSS directly, you can set the option for percentage. Before you changed anything, you had the right picture set as a percentage, the left sidebar as a fixed width, and the center was the remainder. With your current settings now, the center covers the right picture entirely. If you don't know how to edit the CSS directly (I don't, I'm just getting all this info from my geeky boyfriend) then you are probably best just going back to your previous settings. I've found a plug-in for my browser that will let me fix it on my end. :)

I'm using a default layout, so I can't edit the CSS directly. I'd have to create a whole new layout from scratch, and while I could do that, I'm happy with my current settings.

I suppose if the sidebar and the centre column are readable, it doesn't matter too much about the image, right? :|

The main column seems a bit narrow to me, but I do have a bloody massive monitor...so, yeah, I'll just shut up and deal with it. :)

Besides, I got distracted by all the pretty animations and...well...suddenly positioning was of little importance. Christ, forget all the snogging. Ianto, his eyebrows and a grape equals a bloody lethal combination that does me in every time...

Is the main column better now?

And yes ... the grape ............................ nom.

Width-Perfect, my dear. *Thumbs up*

Also, it's kind of sad that the grape-eating scene is the only bit of "Combat" I remember vividly. If I do ever get around to writing Torchwood fic, it will feature far more Janto Good Cop/Bad Cop routines complete with handcuffs.

Oh ... stop giving me plot bunnies! I have too many! I can barely keep up with what I'm writing, never mind what I plan to write!

I blame the overt smexiness of GDL and Janto. They keep giving me thoughts, Goddamnit!
