Why did my "Thread/Thread Starter" Section Get so Wide?
A few weeks ago, the width of the "Thread/Thread Starter" section of my forum display grew and now unless I make my browser full screen I have to scroll back and forth to see all the columns to the right. Anyone know why this happened, and how I can change it?
Thanks,
Rich

What resolution are you running on your moniter. Its almost like the site is set up for wide screen laptops(most) and widescreen moniters.
I Dont have this trouble on any of my computers(widescreen with 1440x900 res) but if i use work or school square moniters i have to scroll

Did anyone reinforce/tear down my theory of setting this forum up for widescreen moniters vs square moniters.
As i said, i have widescreen computers and i have no problem. If i use school or work computers (which have square moniters) i have to scroll.
So maybe the site maker switched it up?

Not a problem on my computer at home or work, work is a square display, home is a wide screen. Also not a problem whether I use firefox or explorer.
Could it be your screen resolution got changed accidentally? I've had that problem before with other pages, just change it back and everything should fit fine.

Try going to a lower resolution, that will make fewer dots so it fits in your screen. Or maybe it's another setting on your computer that affects the view.
Like I said, I haven't noticed any changes in the website view image over the last several months, I can view the entire post and don't need to scroll over on any of the pages, in fact the scroll button isn't even there. This is true for Explorer and Firefox.
You guys wanted some feedback on whether the site has changed its layout, I'm saying it doesn't appear to have changed, it looks fine, so I'm guessing it must be your computers.
I've had this scrolling problem before, I fixed it by changing the screen resolution or some related setting, I don't remember exactly (I'm not a computer geek).
Good luck!

Something has changed with the site. The problem does not happen to me with the widescreen monitor and the resolution that I normally run. However, I was chatting with a fellow 1st genner the other day and he was experiencing this problem and was wondering if I was too. I dropped the resolution down a bit, and the problem was there. He was saying:
- main rx7club page, no bar
- 1st gen section, largest scroll bar
- 2nd/3rd gen sections. scroll bar there, but smaller
Not sure of the cause, but the problem is something to do with the site and not browser. Try increasing resolution, if possible, to correct the problem for now.

Potentially something in the code changed the #pixels etc of the certain pages in first gen section because when setting parameter you set the "resolution" which is #pixels x # pixels.
If i wasnt so lazy/busy i would look at the source code and see what the diff is between sections.
(in firefox ctrl-u)

I thought your car was red?
K we have established that something has changed recently. Nonetheless, those of you with problems, what are you running for resolutions. (you can go to your desktop right click on properties, go to the settings tab and it will say)
I just changed my res down 1 setting and the scroll bar appears for the 1st gen section, the FS section but not 2nd or 3rd.
So try upping your resolution for now. I agree it needs to be resolved because i can imagine it gets irritating
