CSS, in this case, stands for "Cascading Style Sheets", which means one page of text controls how the entire site looks. If I change something on that one site, it changes on every page on the website - it controls things like font sizes, colors, background images, etc.
You will also notice the Spell Checker is back. Yes, I thought of it specifically for you, Charlie.

Under "Monthly Awards" several of the older links report back a JFusion Error.

Can you specify which ones? I went back through about two dozen random months, and could not find any errors.

Yes, but then the default text shrinks for every other site you visit as well. Constantly changing the font size in your browser is not a particularly good solution.
FWIW I'm having the same type of problem - the forums are really squished - and I'm on a widescreen monitor. I tried to check the forums last night from a lab computer with a standard ratio monitor, and it was not pretty. Side-to-side scrolling is awful. The site is beautiful, but no matter what you do to the font, the sidebars will NOT scale with font.
Also, changing the default font in the browser preferences only changes the font that has *not* been specified with a size. If your CSS says all H2's are going to be point 18, no matter what we do on our end, that header's going to be 18 pt.
I'm sorry for being so critical
It really does look very pretty, and I know a lot of work went into it, and probably us people on smaller screen should just suck it up.

Actually, yes! The catch is, it's in your browser...
Most browsers let you shrink the text, by going to the View menu - it'll let you adjust it there for the whole site. Everything SHOULD scale properly to fit.
Or, you just need a new monitor.

I've noticed on my smartphone, if I goto the forums, everything is skewed slightly and squished. On my work PC and home laptop, everything looks ok.

Cassie - Hm, I will re-check the CSS for the forums - I think I know what is happening. I had to make some last-minute changes before we went live, and I have a good idea as to what happened.
Paul - Not too much I can do about smartphones, until they get a better resolution.
