it looks better the way it is instead of wider, make it percentage based so its not too small on larger resolution monitors

I have taken a look at phpBBhosts.co.uk and it seems it seems you have resolved the issue. I am viewing in firefox.

 

Though I couldn't help but notice was how unclear the logo is. Upgrading your graphical respresentation will increase sales.
