Why is there half a screen of white space on this site.

Why is there half a screen of white space on the websites pages?.

It's just more to scroll down (needlessly). If it's reserved for advertising then place an advert in there, even if it's a free advert for charity. At least put something there for cliffs sake.

There are adverts in there usually. Not today, it seems.
I'd say it's an improvement.

ads? what are those? I never see them!

Neither do I on my computers - at the customer's, unfortunately, I am afflicted with IE7 and no admin rights to install anything else...

You should look at an alternative.... Portable apps!

you put an executable on a USB key and run it from there.

Nah.

Your PoS accidentally falling out of a closed 7th floor window has a better result.
