What's up with the huuuuuge blank space between the Anthrax thread and the Ireland/sunken submarine post?

At least, I think that's the same problem...

The poster put the link in instead of some text with a link on it. The link is counted as all one word because it has no spaces. That makes it too wide to fit in the space between the right hand navigator and the left margin. So, instead of splitting it up like a regular sentence with spaces, the page forces it below the sidebar.
works fine on 1024x768 if you maximize the window, and it shouldn't be too noticable on 800x600. Big mistake by the poster below. Looks like they tried some fancy-pants java action.
