Page Width
« on: December 30, 2010, 11:59:07 AM »
Maybe it's just me but since I got back on, the text extends past my right hand margin. Is there something I've done wrong or is it the new site ? Not all topics have this problem, just a few.

Roger,
 
Is your page set to the full width of your screen? 
For me many new or modified web sites seem to require your window to be set to the full width of your physical screen. Otherwise, the right side of the window is cut off. 
Previously most web sites like BR used to have self-adjustable code that the words/text displayed what fit on your window, no matter the size. Just a thought

We're still looking into this issue.
 
The problem appears when someone posts a really long link.  Whenever there is no space in a string of characters, HTML will not wrap it.
 
Not sure if there is much I can do about this right now.  However, I did place a horizontal scroll bar on the bottom of the page.  This will only appear when the text does go outside the boundery.

I know it was the first day of the site. I should have written down what page/pages it was ( i'm old, get over it ) but it wasn't all pages, maybe it was just long posts.

 

All seems better now, not sure what it was. Have looked at every page this morning just to see and none of them have cut off right side , new posts anyway, so maybe it was just a burp ?

 

I have not changed my screen size in decades ! It's a full screen but I'm not into the wide screen monitor as most are. Maybe it was that who knows, all is well now, I hope.

 

Happy New Year !

I too have been experiencing this. Just a few minutes ago, I found one post this way, and tried the zoom feature on my browser to see if it helped.

 

 It didn't, but it did let me find the scroll bar Admin talked about.
