Default Re: Message Bd. Centered on Monitor

I DO have the big screen hooked up! I also have two monitors running off my CPU so while I read the morning posts on Woodcarving Illustrated I can also monitor what Lindsey, Paris and Brittney have been up to on Egotastic.com. Oh....I'm also watching Fox & Friends while all this is going on. Only problem is that after a couple hours of this I have to go take a nap!

This problem started, on my computer, a couple of weeks ago. I had not changed any settings and I am using a large, LCD, flat screen monitor. I hesitate to change any settings (although having to constantly scroll is annoying) because it is the only website where this is necessary. I don't want to affect the other many sites I visit almost daily. We get all of our news and weather on-line. We also use the laptop, which stays between our recliners as a dictionary and encyclopedia. I would rather be irritated by one site than affect the many others.

Paul,
I may come to same conclusion you have. The lettering is pretty small but as Thomp suggested doing a "control +" does help quickly with the lettering. I dislike computer changes including updates. I already have enough problems I don't need or want anymore. Like you said it's not worth it.

I wonder if someone has fixed it. I am not seeing the problem now. We'll see how it looks tonight when I get home.....

Well, I might be all wet, but I think something has changed with the message board code, either a style sheet or some resize logic or something. It's different than it was.

Plus, if you look a the Wood Carving Illustrated home page and the screen when you are reading a thread, they look alright. It's the main message board screen and the 'New s' screen that are sized strangely. I also notice the User CP screen is wierd, but if you go into Edit Profile, that screen looks ok.

Something's up....maybe one of the web techie's for WCI could look things over.

My .02....

I went to a 95% on my format at the bottom of the screen and everything fits fine.
