1) I was looking at some pics someone had posted as images within a thread - the pics were 1024x768 and I had to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the thread to be able to see the scroll bar to be able to scroll horizontally to see the rest of the picture. I guess it looks okay on a widescreen monitor but on a regular monitor, the pics get cut off due to the forum panels on the right taking up some of the screen.
2) What's the Chess section at the bottom of the panel on the right for?
1). just click on the pic, it will be "pop-up"ed. that's the standard feature of the forum preventing to become the width of the forum post too large. We had that problem on the old LAF if the pics were too large, and we had to scroll seidewards to be able to read the text in it.
2). Chess section is for playing chess

If you don't like/want it, just close the section clicking that little button on the top of the section
