Terry since I signed up all I ever had to do was go to page and change the text from large to medium, I use IE8 and Win XP Pro. Once I did that I could view the site without doing any side scrolling. I have a 24" monitor @ 1280 x 1024. This site and Craigslist were the only two that I have to lower the text to read comfortably. Within the last few days something has changed because now I have a bottom scroll bar I never had before.I can't read the full post without having to scroll left to right.

Forgot to add if I do log out the pages are like they use to be. I can read them without scrolling side to side. I guess that is how I will roll from now on. I hope you find a fix for it. Thanks

I have two computers at home and one at work and am not having this problem. Two moderators state that they have. Change your screen resolution and it will fix it. I have no idea what is causing this for just a few members.

Same issue here. I don't think it's just a few of us having the problem.

I do like this forum, but, I don't plan on changing my screen resolution just for this site that is not right. If it was in many other forums, yes, I'd change then. But it is only this site, so I see no reason why I should change my entire computer viewing just to match this site.
I just won't come here when I don't feel like being frustrated.

Terry,

Thanks for looking into it, it is a pain for us older guys who's eyes cannot deal with tiny resolutions.

Best,
Harry

Add me as well. Something has happened the last couple of days. I now have to scroll every post when using my laptop. I've used this laptop for viewing the HD forums for years, no problems. Only recently does it now require me to scroll.

Thanks for looking into it.
