Do you use the Empires forum theme, or the vBulletin default? I personally use the vBulletin one, it's easier on the eyes
The Vbulletin skin is really disgusting D: and lots of wasted space everywhere. I like the fixed width the most, its sexy, but too many posts are stretched so I'm forced to use the variable width. Bodrick, your sig is just for the vbulletin guys on fixed width it stretches the page and on empires variable width it just doesnt look as good.
