Patriotic guy from Georgia. Starting to form a picture lol

 

widescreen + 1680x1050= FTW

 

And it works for you right?

 

that it does.. not much is too big for my screen

 

my res is 1024x768. 1152x864 is the next highest and didn't change anything. 1280x1024 us the highest in the disp prop but apparently my monitor wont allow it to be set that high.

 

And you really should HAVE to set it any higher...that section is just plain too wide! I'm telling you, something has changed on the forum, and I wish they would change it back. Or make the columns sizable, so you can customize the display the way you want it. Doc, Jon, where are you??

EDIT: I had not been to the 1st Gen section yet this morning when I wrote this...I just went there and now my display is ok. Did someone fix it? Or perhaps it is as a previous poster suggested and it is dependent on the length of the longest thread title, and the offending thread has finally been removed/expired/gotten old enough to not affect us anymore? I dunno, but I'm glad it's back to "normal".

not back to normal for me , i can only see part of "last post " column in section page and "se" in search bar in the non technical page . the actual thread page is normal

all other sections of forum OK, just first gen screwy

 

i had thought that since frames or cells is used in making the page i thought that something in the coding had changed since it seems to run off the page. like this page has the bar at the bottom like the page is just barely too wide, and some other pages r wider.

 

Try looking at the 2nd gen or 3rd gen tech. sections - they are fine, but for some reason the 1st gen section is buggered up. I have a 19" moniter at 1280 by 1024 and have noticed this problem for a few months now.
Since I can view the other sections normally, I think the problem is with this site.

 

I'm starting to wonder if you guys or your computers are on drugs. I'm not having any problems or changes, either today or over the last few months, in the display properties of any of the forum sections, including this one.

For example, this photo should just fill the text box on the right, with no scrolling necessary.



The column on the left, with our user name, icon, join date, etc, is also displayed and intact, again visible without scrolling (in fact there is no left-right scroll on my display either here at work, a square screen, or at home on my wide screen lap top - everything fits neatly in the displayed page.

Things have been a little slow on this forum lately, are you guys just making thing up so you will have something to talk about?

Works for me.

Yeah, I'm having the same issue too. Work computer, and my 4 systems at home all display the same. Main page of the 1st gen section too wide to fit on the screen. Pain in the ***!

 

This thread with its pics is fine. Other threads in this forum are too wide. Hopefully a mod chimes in soon to help clear this up.

 

I havent ever had this problem that you guys are talking about.

 

This is what it looks like for me.
Main page:

3rd gen section

2nd gen section

1st gen archive

1st gen section

Notice the bar on the bottom of the 1st gen section and none of the others.

These are all on my 19" screen. If I put it to full screen, the 1st gen page is okay except when I use any computer with a screen smaller than mine, ie school computer it's still messed up.

 

Weird, I'm not getting that, my 1st gen display and all the others look the same, just like your top panels. I'm not seeing that scroll or loss of columns on the screen I'm typing on, everything fits perfectly.

I was thinking maybe it's a Vista thing, but I have Vista on the lap top and XP at work. Maybe it has to do with older versions of Windows?

Or else display size?

I'm usually the first person to have computer problems, so I'm still thinking your computers must be on drugs.

That's exactly what mine was doing, but now it's ok??? It's really not the bar at the bottom that's the issue...it's just an indication that the display is too wide and you need to scroll to see the whole thing.

Rich

 

The drugs are wearing off. Your computer can no longer see the sounds and hear the images.

 

same here, WIDE, i have to scroll to see the whole thing.

 

its even wider today ..WTFF

now the threads are wide

General - wide
Single Turbo - little wide
Suspension - Little wide
