With this new format, any post longer than a short sentence runs off of the end of the screen and I have to mouse back and forth across the bottom to read most posts. On the Delphi boards I can fix that by adjusting the font size, but that doesn't seem to work here.Or am I just not going small enough?

I could be wrong but I think that this only happens on posts that were cut & paste.....

What Browser are you using. What do you have your screen resolution set on? Give me a link to a thread that you have this problem on. I don't have a problem with it so if you can tell me your set up and give me a link to a thread that you have this problem on I will see if I can duplicate it.

I don't know how to link you a thread or cut and paste or any of that techo BS. I just read and post. Until this board format I didn't have a problem. When I clicked on my own post just now I could read it without moving the bottom back and forth, but after I registered to post this reply suddenly the post was wider and ran off of the screen. I have a 1997 Compaq with Windows 98, so I probably just plain screwed with this new format.

I think the problem comes from someone who posts too big of a picture or signature in one of the threads. For me at least those are the only posts that I have to scroll right and left to read.

What is your screen resolution set to. I would guess if you have a 9 year old computer you have a small monitor (15inch) which means you have the resolution set low.

Jeff, with this new board it seems I have to type everything on WORD first and then cut and paste it for the format to be correct for some reason. If I type more than a few lines on here, the text won't wrap around anymore. If you look at the message you're going to post in HTML format it starts getting " " after every single word after a certain point. Even this message was a pinch too long and I had to cut and paste it from WORD so it would fit.

I typed the above in too see what it looked liked and I do not see a problem with it when I look at it in code view. It all looks correct.

What browser and version are you using?

Thanks

I do not have to scroll on any of these messages in the thread. Do you have to scroll on any of them?
All looks good on the above message when I view it.

I have to scroll side to side on pages 3 & 4 of the thread titled "BUY! BUY! BUY!". There's more but that's the one I just noticed.

(Actually, on a side note, I wish that thread would go "BYE! BYE! BYE!")

I haven't noticed any problems typing in text but then again, I don't post 50 times/day (nodust?)

Using FIREFOX 2.0. Death to IE!

Oh, Jeff, also by the way...nodust's videos still auto-start in FIREFOX.

I don't have to scroll on any of the pages but I probably have a higher resolution monitor then most are using. I will look into it to see if I can fix it.

The auto start in firefox must be a bug since the parameters are set to not auto start and it does anyway. IE it does not auto start.

Yep, the scroll bar shows up on page 4 of the Buy, Buy, Buy thread and Hawker's and Cubic's posts go off the right side if I don't scroll.

I too have been noticing this problem. But it doesn't seem to happen every time I post. It looks like it does it if you put an odd character in or if you go back, while typing and make a correction. Most of the time I use IE 6.0 Service Pack 2 with a 17" monitor set a 600x800.

I think I have the scrolling issue fixed after a 8 hour session of trying to figure out what how to cure the problem. Let me know if you still have the scroll problem.

Thanks

Hi,
Do not worry about the   tag it gets filtered out when you submit.
