Also, not ideal but you could install the firefox browser, then a wee add-on called Greasemonkey. Then, buried somewhere in Off-topic, is a script that self-installs which removes the banner down the right - the rest of the forum should then stretch out to make pictures viewable. As I say, not ideal, bit of faffing about, but it works.
Been using Firefox for a week now and it's much better than IE.
