I really wish the Subject column was wider.

Being able to read most of the subject on one line was one of the things I liked best about DU3. The DU4 format makes the subject wrap, sometimes to 3 or 4 lines. Harder to skim.

And also what page you're looking at?

It's possible I can make some adjustments to improve this for you, but I can't diagnose the problem without knowing what kind of screen you are using, and on what page.

Take a look now -- I've just stretched it a little wider. Unfortunately that's about as far as I can go... you're getting the tablet view because you have a smaller screen size, but tablets are a bit smaller than your screen, so if I adjust the columns any further the Author column will get very squashed for tablet users.

It's OK if I maximize my window. Understanding the "why" of things is half the battle.

If the listing were an Excel table, the subject has about the same width as the date/time stamp column.
