I'm not seeing them.
ATS fills the whole screen for me. What screen size are you guys using? Resolution? etc.

You don't see the translucent blue banners on the sides of the posts?

Maybe on PCs, I'm a Mac snob.
But you can see it on the screenshots other helpful members provided.
Now what?

Hey, off topic, but a 2 year old 21" should easily display higher resolutions. If your video card let you go higher, then the video card also supports higher. Not sure why yours would blink back to previous setting unless you forgot to hit the OK button on the 15 second timer pop up... Hard to troubleshoot computer issues without being at the computer however, so good luck!

Hey, and if you get a bailout, send some my way as a reward, since I'm $65,000.00 in debt from going to college! Hooray for indentured servitude...
edit: my monitor is not really a widescreen, my res is set at 1280 X 1024

Thats why you see only the forum and not the sidebar content on each side of the forum layout. Its like watching a widescreen TV and a standard 4:3 image comes on, there will be two sidebars on the left and right to fill in the blank area.
On a standard 4:3 screen, you wont see these sidebars since the main content, in this case the ATS forum, is coded so that if its viewed on a standard 4:3 aspect ratio monitor, the forum layout "fills the screen" with no sidebars.
On a 16:9 wide, the layout is not coded so that it widens out to fill the width of the widescreen, so there are the sidebars to fill in with something, or there would be the black sidebars as a result.
Its the opposte of watching a widescreen 16:9 movie on a 4:3 screen in letterbox, where you have black bars at the top and bottom.
Here is a good explanation to it all at Wiki.

I must now interject my opinion: widescreen computer monitors suck.
Tell me, what do you use more: the vertical scroll-bar, for scrolling up/down, or horizontal scrollbars, when viewing webpages? So, do you want a taller screen, or a wider screen?
'Widescreen' monitors would be better termed 'shortscreen', as they usually have the same horizontal pixel-count as a 4:3 aspect ratio screen, just fewer vertical pixels.
This allows the manufacturers to advertise 17" or 21" widescreens, when measured diagonally, that have a much lower total MegaPixel count (and thus, manufacturing cost) than a 4:3 aspect ratio screen with the same diagonal measurement. That Pythagoras thing, ya know.
For anything other than viewing movies, widescreen LCDs are a scam, and (dare I say it), a conspiracy.

As someone (I forget who) mentioned, this is spelling mistake #2 of the day, both involving the side banners. See
this thread.
Odd.
EDIT: I have to disagree with Ian on this one. I just got a new (to me) 21-inch widescreen, and I love all the space I have to open windows next to each other without missing any content. Of course, like SDog, I'm a Mac snob
