Peace, Wayne

Owensboro, Ky.

I am a computer nu-B and am curious as to why some posts are wider than others. On some of them (not most, just a few) I have to go back and forth (side to side) to be able to read the whole line of type...or see who wrote it. Don't laugh too hard cause some of us (me) still think that windows is something that lets light into the room. Peace Wayne

Do you have a specific example?

Usually, this is caused by posts with no spaces in them. The Browser can't figure out where to wrap the text, so expands the page (past your screen) to fit it all on one line. This is usually rare though because people don't often type sentances without any whitespace. But it has happened.

That post is the same way here G too wide for screen. Not that is much of a problem. Just a minor annoyance on an otherwise top notch site.

The calcareous soils is the latest example I have noticed also, and I also agree with the Hauler...minor problem on excellent site. Peace Wayne

Ryan, when I hold control key and scroll mouse all that changes is font size. Peace Wayne
