screen too wide to see without scrolling

[100percent]

Hi
My screen is set for it's highest resolution of 1024x768 and I have to scroll to see the entire web pages here. Is there a work around?

It is the same whether their are photos or just the basic text.
Thanks

ditto.


I believe it has to do with the "Banner" arrangement (the advertisements)

[mad1ben2]

same here... makes reading difficult...

What are you using for a internet browser? I use firefox and have the window sized to half screen and I can see the whole post.

I was having to scroll left on all post in order to see the entire sentence. I discovered that while depressing the "ctrl" key, then rotating the wheel on the mouse, the screen increases or decreases to allow all of the post to fit. The only drawback is obviously, smaller text size, but I can live with that.
By the way, I'm using Internet Explorer.

You should be able to hold down the Ctrl key and then hit the + or - sign on the number pad to enlarge or reduce the size of the web page, This should only affect this site and your browser should remember the setting

Far out! I find if I hold the ctrl key, scroll the wheel back and forth really really fast and have my wife flip the lights on and off it's almost like disco!!!!

Thank god it's dead, never did get into the disco her, disco there. Just wasn't me.
More of a tie him to the Kahr and drag him kind of guy. Buddy Holly rocks!

that scrollie thing and reducing the text size may be fine for those of you that don't have to stack two pairs of readers together just to see the "normal" print, but not for some of us that are vision challenged. Until I find a surgeon that can fix what was "fixed" several years ago, I'm gonna have to get a Braille computer if the text has to be made smaller:confused:

You should be able to scroll through different size text as you change from one size of the web page to the next the text should change sizes several times before the page itself changes size.

Yeah, that's correct, but I find that the + or - changes size too much either way. The mouse wheel seems to have more incremental sizes from which to choose. Also, at least on my screen, at the extreme lower right of your screen, you'll see a + sign with a % value next to it. Click on the drop-down arrow, then click custom, and choose the % that works for you. For me, it's 90%.
Hope this helps someone.

tried the text resize thing several months ago... text too small to read.

anyway, moving the scroll bar with the mouse is good exercise...and I can read the text:D

[rholmes69]

x2 on the bottom right corner of your browsing window. Where it shows 90% or 100% or whatever, click on it and will bring up a tab. Widescreen hi-def displays seem to do well 115% and normal 4:3 screens seem to fit well with 90%. You can always click custom and go in single percentage increments.

So far none of the suggestions have helped me much. I can make my print larger (ctrl+-)or smaller but lines that continue to the edge and wrap around still do. I think this is the only web site that I frequent that doesn't auto size.

It is minor but makes reading and contributing more time consuming and less likely. Maybe that is a plus.

[Bawanna]

Not contributing is a good thing. What's with the negativity this morning?

Kind of makes me wonder what a person from a 100 years ago would think if we could show him what we're doing now days on these computers, even dumb people like me.

Use your trigger finger to run the wheel or scroll and push the buttons, your exercising for trigger control and getting the job done, one of them to stones for a bird in the bush or chickens in the hand things?? Think I got this one twisted up a bit.

I just played with my "browser sizing" scrolling the wheel back and forth and it changed size but remained in the window. More lines but very readable. The only time I have the same issue is when a picture is posted that's larger than the window.

I am back at home on my laptop running firefox 3.6.xx same as in the office and this forum looks fine, great. I am using windows vista instead of windows xp. The form factor is perfect.

[tconroy]

If you hold down CTRL and then use your mouse thumb scroll, Up will enlarge and down will reduce. Try that

I can see the whole post at 75% but reading it with my old eyes at the level sucks.

[jimbar]

This is getting rediculos. Every time I visit Khar Talk, I have to keep re-adjusting my screen size to read post's. My normal setting is at 1024x780. I changed it to 1280x1024 to see if that helps. Hell, I can barely read the words, and as in a post today by Bwana, I still had to scroll all the way to the right, and almost didn't get all of one sentence.
Why is it only on this site? I don't have to adjust anything on any other web site I visit.
If this can't be resolved, I guess I'll stop visiting,.. it's just too much of a pain in the butt to keep shifting on every page.
Hope you web gurus can do something,..else I'm gone,....sadly.

[Bawanna]

Woa, woa woa, the neighbor. I don't know nothing about this computer stuff but there ain't many of us Northwesterners around here. Mostly east coast, florida, and texas and that one strange one in Indiana.

Don't be thinking about running off and leaving me to fend for myself. Meet me at Kesselrings, I'll buy you some bullets or something, whatever it takes.

[jimbar]

Guess my frustration was getting the better of me, I hope it showed to those who might be able to fix this. I know I'm not the only one having this problem. Seems to me since it's only with this site,....something ain't right....

[MrToad]

It appears to be browser specific. If I view the site in Firefox, resizing the browser window resizes content accordingly. If I view the site in IE, the width appears fixed. Seems like there could be a script or setting to adjust this, but I suppose that depends on the vBulletin layout/template parameters.

EDIT: I just noticed a large picture in a thread will prevent this, FWIW...
