If you're using Firefox, Opera, or I think Google Chrome, I have made 2 style sheets that can be imported as UserScripts(opera, chrome and greesemonkey on firefox) or as stylesheets with the Stylish addon on FireFox.

If you want to just make the left menu scroll, please use this one:
http://userstyles.org/styles/33819

If you want to make the header menu scroll as well, please use this one INSTEAD:
http://userstyles.org/styles/33820

tested both, and they seem to work well. any problems, let me know!

yea.. didn't put these up b/c i think the styles are bad, just they don't work too well with smaller screens like netbooks.

personally, i've kept mine at default on my main computer, just set them both as absolute on my netbook. thought about makin the background image scrolling as well, but it looks cooler fixed.

sweet lets me zoom in a lot more now

Nice, that's a tad better. Now if only I had the css skills to change that insanely huge 18px font used in that header menu, it'd be swell.

This doesn't cut it in stylish...

#header_container {
position: absolute !important;
width:744px;
height:20px;
}
#header_links{
position:absolute;
margin-top:1px;
margin-left:230px;
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 10px;
color: #ffcccc;
letter-spacing:-1px
}
#header_links a{
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 10px;
color: #ffcccc;
text-decoration:none;
font-weight:normal;
}

ah, so that !important thing in stylish is actually important....clever...I'm getting there....

Yea. I think it loads the new css first. A bit of a waste of time, because css rules always favor the definitions called last. So the !important overrides that
