I agree that the sidebar is not REALLY the issue. Currently the Main page holds the ads (unless you're not signed in). The other pages simply adjust the page box to fit push outside the screen. The majority of us have this set in our CSS. This new skin is forcing the sidebar to be fixed width and not allowing you to resize it. When the sidebar was on the left this was not noticed.

This can be fixed though (outside of the main page) to push your content/article box outside the frames while keeping the sidebar on the right. Wikia has not said you CANNOT do this, just that it has to be a fixed width. I think we are all getting ahead of ourselves, but I agree - the way Wikia is handling responses and feedback for the change, it is a little disconcerting as well as almost as if they are not sure HOW to respond or have things ready for rollouts. Seems like someone in their marketing set a date and they couldn't set things up by then...
