display. I don't like having to use full size window
1024 x 768 because I can't get rid of the third panel.
Haven't been successful with Platypus or trying to
find something for Adblock.

I think everyone would like to know that question! I run at 640x480, and
that 3rd column is huge while the other two have the horizontal scrolls,
and I have to scroll to the bottom just to scroll horizontally, but then
I can't see the top of the message, and . . . oh good grief!

Don't be a fonted, it's just type casting
Peter Potamus the Purple Hippo
what the hell does that have to do with anything. I'm using win98 at
604x480.
this is the first image I see. As you can see, the right column is huge
while the middle column is screwed up and tiny and needs a horizontal
scroll:

I have to scroll down to the bottom to get the horizontal scroll, but
now I can't read the top:

If I use 800x600 then this is what I see. Its better, but not the res I
want.

pension thus sharing of retired hardware resources could be an answer to
some hardware limitations.

*perfect*!!!! I was searching all over for such a bookmarklet. Where
did you ever find it?

Thanks, the bookmarklet worked perfectly, much better
than what I was going to look up if no better solution, and
you've got it toggled. WOW! Of course if it were in
"Customize Google" wouldn't really care if it toggled or
not just to get rid of the third panel.

sorry, FF newbie here. How do you use the bookmarklet? All I saw was a
bunch of %xx mumbo jumbo.

A bookmarklet is bookmark which contains a small javascript

Bookmarklets exist for many things, such as changing the
appearance of the web page which you are viewing.

that %xx mumbo jumbo are very important to the bookmarklet. Just click
and drag that mumbo jumbo to your bookmark folder. You can open the
bookmark manager and rename it. Now, visit this googlegroup site:
and you should see three columns. Click on the bookmarklet, and now you
should only see two. Click on it again and you're back to three.
Its a great little toggle, but I wish Ralph would tell us where he got
it from.

How do you get the three-panel view? I have just two panels.

I will guess that the panel in the image which you do not see is
the "message list" panel, the left one of the three shown in the image.
At the top, where the subject is shown in big white-on-dark-grey letters,
click on "More options" and then on "Show message list >".
Sometimes the "message list" panel is shown automatically, maybe
depending on how you got there, maybe on GG remembering (via cookies)
whether you had it on or off before. The "message list" panel is
also very useful with long threads, as the centre "message body"
panel only shows 10 messages at a time.
