You can make the text smaller, that makes more on the screen at once. Although this then affects other sites, you could just make you resolution higher, I run at 1200X1024, and it all fits on OK, unless something has a long sig. To change the text size in IE it could be on the view menu, although if you right click the toolbar, customize, then add the text size button you can adjust it easily. On firefox it is under the View menu.

Hold down the Control key and twiddle the mouse scroll wheel, and that will change the size of the text in your web browser.

What is your current screen resolution? Increasing that is probably the only way to make things better. 1024×768 seems to be most common these days, but almost all websites work with 800×600.
