Pages too wide

Is it my PC or is there a size problem with the 50 Latest Posts pages? I have to scroll to the right to read the entire post. Maybe a line-wrap issue?

Re:Pages too wide

Mine will do the same thing too when I visit a page and then come back to the page I was previously viewing. I thought it was an issue with OSX as it seems to handle some sites in a pretty funky manner.

That's what I have my monitor resolution set to. It doesn't happen all of the time, the page looks correct sometimes, but sometimes it doesn't.... :-

Re:Pages too wide

This happens often due to someone posting a picture that is too large, or a signature. When we see these things, we go in and try to fix them or delete the problem.

No, that's not why it's happening. It happens to me all the time when I view the forums page, not necessarily when I'm viewing a particular forum section. Since it's not possible to post pictures on the forums page, there's something else happening that causes this.

Re:Pages too wide

I see this on IE6 and when I find one, I remove the posted picture, resize the offending monsrotsity and all returns to normal.

I probably fix half dozen every week here.

I've seen that too, and there have been a few times where I've seen someone's signature mess it up as well, when they don't word wrap etc. Sometimes I've seen also where someone posts a ton of the same letter with no spaces, that will spread the table out very wide.

I've seen these things too, but it's happening for me on pages where it's not possible for those things to effect the width of the tables.

Re:Pages too wide

Yes Sir, and when I see this in the 50 latest posts I start running through the list until I find the thread that is "Table spread"

Then I can locate the post that is causing the problem up stream of the rest of them.
