I tried ....... (on Firefox) also several days ago and it didn't help. But then a couple of days ago I clicked on the free, country-specific (for me, the USA service) subscription service linked to ....... and that did the trick. No need to enter credit card or any other information for the service.
Could be that down the line the service will need to be refreshed to deal with new ads or sites, or that I'll somehow get a message about options for additional services for which I'd pay. But as best as I and my tech-savvy stepson could tell, it's simply a free, one-click service.
For the IT folks at FT, thanks for the great non-responses! In and of itself, a good reason to start going to other sites for travel info and discussions.

I just chatted with Dick and they have yet to be able to replicate this error. I am on a Mac as well using Firefox and am also not seeing the error. All of which leads me to wonder if this might be being caused by a conflict with a Firefox plugin of some sort. Perhaps as a troubleshooting exercise one (or more) of you could try disabling your plugins one at a time and see if the problem resolves. At the very least, it might help narrow down the list of potential causes.

Using Firefox and ....... Plus, I am seeing this WIDE screen problem in various fora on FT. There's no other plugin in my Firefox.
One thing I can't figure out yet is the 1st page of this very thread. Without sign-in, this page is the poster page for the "wide screen" problem. The problem goes away when I log in though.
I am very surprised IB and IT folks can't replicate this "abnormality."
ETA:
This page shows the same problem as well.

Try this page. You should be able to see the problem at hand, with or without sign-in.

You are very welcome! 
I can't find more examples at this moment. However, I am sure if you guys need more sample pages, our fellow FTers can shoot your guys dozens more at no time.
It is really a "growing" problem in the past week. Just see how many threads or posts on this problem got started since 10/14/09.
BTW, I am not FT Premium.

Mikel,
As another reference point, I have the ad free FT experience and cannot see the problem.
However, if I log out, then I get the same images others are complaining about.
I am running on Microsoft Windows.... Vista at home and Windows 6.0 at work.

At home, I use Firefox and I have been having the problem lately. I'll look into Adblocker.
At work, I don't have the option of buying an ad-free version. AND, we have all the pop-up blockers you could want, on Internet Explorer, and yet the problem has exploded in the past week.
Could we please have a response from technical support on what Flyertalk's plans are to stop the pages from expanding horizontally so they're unreadable, with the addition of a lot of gobbledygook computer code thrown in?
Thanks....this is a very serious issue that does no favors to advertisers.

Unless one is experiencing this, you cannot imagine how annoying it is, and impossible to navigate thru FT. I don't have this problem with any other site.
