Display help needed

[harrysin]

Mark, since last evening the width of my display when on the forum is excessive with a horizontal slide bar. I have tried my wife's computer which has a wide screen and that is just the same.It is most annoying to keep sliding the picture from side to side. Increasing the screen resolution does not make much difference. Herewith is a screen shot. HELP!

ps Mark I am using Mozilla Firefox the same as before this problem occurred.

What is your computer's screen resolution? It appears to be ~800x600, is this correct?

Try this,,,,Right click on the Desktop and select Prop.>Setting folder>set your screen (with the side bar) to 1280 by 800 and then give that a try

Mark/Bob, I have always had the screen resolution set to 800 x 600 so that I can read text without difficulty and had no problems with the forum. Some further information, the home page and the chosen section are normal, then I open a post and there is the w i d e screen. Don't forget that my wife's machine which also was ok exhibits the same symptoms! and as mentioned, increasing the resolution makes only marginal improvement with text too small for comfort.

Once you reset the screen you can make the text bigger so you can see it.

That's the norm when the pictures are BIG

It's the same on my end

But Bob, it was normal before the format of the photos changed from thumb nails to the present system.

That's because the picture server is not the forum server ..
It's outside of the forum from the NET

I sincerely hope that things are going to be changed back to how they were as I find this system unacceptable. Thanks for you're input Bob and I am now heading for bed before I change into a pumpkin in one minutes time!
