I've noticed for the last few days that the forum seems to be too wide in some respects.

The whole "edit" button is cut off on the right side slightly; has this always been that way, or am I just incredibly picky and anal about conformity and evenness?

I think it may just be you....have ya tried adjusting your screen?

You know I have noticed that too!

Having used a forum like this one before, I know of a couple reasons why this would be an issue.

1. The settings on your own computer for horizontal width have been moved or changed.

2. Someone posting in the forum made a post of continual lettering that went beyond that of the screen, and the forum can not cut a word in half to accomodate. (IE: someone went like this: dskljierjlknmfsp[ofsjfn)

If you have checked your monitor's horizontal settings and you have checked your display settings, and there have been no posts of this nature, then the incident has likely been from the poor respone to the boards themselves. When a board is loading, it will at times load larger than necessary, until all items are placed, then it returns to its proper size. When there are loading issues, as there have been lately, then the board does not return to proper size as it should. Try refreshing the screen.

If none of these items help, I am out of ideas.

Not that I know of, but I'll check. What are acceptable horizontal width settings?

Note: It's at 1024x768, normal, as far as I know.

I know the thread I posted did not have this occur, but this has happened to me in every thread for the last three or four days.

Before checking display properties, try using the horizontal settings located on the monitor itself.

You can move the screen based on your monitor's center, as well as make it wider or smaller. In the onscreen control panel (if you have a newer monitor) or the set of buttons located near the bottom of your monitor, or a fly wheel located on the underside of the front of the monitor, try finding the horizontal mover. Its usually indicated by a square with a set of double arrows pointing outward to the left and right.

I've got a laptop and have no idea where those controls would be on it.

I noticed that you have no scrollbar on the right-side of your screen. Maybe the problem is related to that.

I had that a month ago, but it stopped after a couple of days. I didn't change the computer's screenmode or the browser window size, so I assumed it was a temporary bug with the fora.

:shock: my post is in the screenie :P

Plus: my quote in the screenieis longer than my text, related perhaps?

Easily fixed with an edit to overall_header.tpl viewtopic_body.tpl and subSilver.css

Adding overflow values to the css.

Maybe it will get implimented, or maybe it does not matter.

If it's just me though, and once in awhile others, perhaps, it does have something to do with the way our computer's are "reading" the boards?

I don't know much about this... if you can't tell... lol.
