Why isn't there a horizontal scroll bar if your browser resolution is smaller than the fixed width? It's nothing to do with screen resolution, but I'm thinking about people who tile windows and make the PORTAL width smaller.

I've checked it in Firefox, Opera and Chrome and they all do the same thing: NOT scroll. Is there a reason a scrollbar isn't implemented or was it forgotten?

I REALLY hope it was the latter, I refuse to believe that any sane web designer would find reason not to.
