Same problem here, I think we were posting at the same time because I had started a new thread on the same thing. Sorry about that! I still need an answer also. My monitor is tiny and it's already at full screen and I still have to do the whole left/right scrolling.
I am having to scroll left to right to read whole message also... I didnt have that problem with the old forum, so I dont believe it is my settings.
This is great so far except for the left to right scroll.
Thanks

Me too! I've experienced this before on the old server
but only occasionally. I'm also on "full screen" but
don't know about that desktop settings thing as I'm
on Apple Mac (or maybe I'm just not very clever).
Perhaps we could persuade everyone to put lots of
returns in, like I'm doing now?
But I LOVE the little preview balloons - saves SO
much time!!!
as I said on the other thread, give me your computer info: os & version, what browser you're using (and version). I'm thinking (hoping) that maybe you just need a newer browser.
I'm sorry. I didn't see your post in the other thread. I think we might have posted at the same time. I have Windows XP and am using MSExplorer 6.0.2800
I changed my settings so this can fit but then I cannot read it. I have to have my computer settings on 800 x 600. Otherwise it is truly way to small for me to read. Help! I do not want to give this site up due to not being able to read or having to scroll right to left for every sentence. The old format worked fine so there must be an adjustment for this to fit on our screens. Otherwise, I too love all the other changes,,especially the part about when a post was put through "21 minutes ago" etc.
Maybe try changing your desktop settings? I have mine set to 1152 x 8645 pixels. Plenty of room for multiple windows. ;)
What Jenn suggested here worked for me. Unfortunately, I think I'll have to wear reading glasses to actually see what's ON the screen now! But it does work in Windows XP anyway. :-D
Thanks, Stephanie. I tried the Windows suggestion, but I can't handle that small print. It drives me crazy (my husband gets so mad at me). Are there any other options, other than using the "Show Printable Version" option in the Thread Tools? Linda

This sounds like a frame size problem with the template. I have the same problem but only when viewing threads. No scrolling is necessary for the Forum home page, the 'Reply to Thread' page, or the New Posts listing page.
My OS is Win XP Pro; IE is 6.0.2900, display sized at 1024 x768.
Here's something else to try that may help with the small print (this is how I fixed mine)...
In your browser (I have IE6 so not sure if this is the same in others) click on tools/internet options/accessibility. Put a check mark in "ignore font sizes specified on web pages" Click OK

yeah, bag the browser-version theory, that's obviously not it. and setting your screen resolution higher is a bit of a work-around but certainly not a fix.

I don't have that option available under 'Accessibility"

Me neither. I switched my resolution size and was all excited because that worked, but 5 minutes later I had a headache because of the tiny print and I had to switch it back. So I'm still looking for a solution for this "scrolling left to right" problem.
I have windows xp and unfortunantly, that setting made my screen so small I couldn't even read it, even when I did full screen. Wierd that this is even happening at all. Thanks anyhow
I found this online: http://www.pegaweb.com/articles/screen-resolution.htm
So maybe it's not something we have to change on our computers but something Splitcoast has to fix in the way the site is setup. That's my guess anyhow. I hope they can fix it.
Well, I have tried the suggested solutions and cannot fix my problem. I can't sit here and scroll, I haven't got the patience for that!!
Thanks anyway

could someone do me a favor and post a screen capture of what you're seeing? also, this question. are you seeing this problem in every thread? or do you see it in just *some* threads?
I was having the same problem on all posts. I did what Stephanie said and changed the pixels on my screen, then did the accessibility/font thing and that made it all work just fine. It's big now and no scrolling. I have Windows 98 and am using IE 6.0 (I think).
