Bug Description

With a narrow browser width the wiki grows a horizontal scrollbar rather than reflowing the content to fit my chosen browser width, this makes it hard to have a wiki page open to a meeting agenda and have an IRC window alongside for example.
Further, when viewing the wiki page on a widescreen monitor with width of 1920 or 2048 for example the content of the wiki flows in a column in the centre of the screen rather than reflowing to take advantage of the available space.

Now made the main section 90% and added a slice of the maverick background on each side to fill the remaining space, this allows it to grow horizontally to fit the available browser space. Might change this to fixed width margins at some point.

my nice patches to make the them fluid did not get accepted. Guess it is just my opinion that fixed width websites totally suck and are there to make paper oriented designers feel comfortable.
