Ive got a 19 inch monitor now set on 1024 x 768 resolution.

Looking at the index I can see everything, but when I open posts, I cant and have to scroll over just to read them.

Is there a way to control this so it stays in my screen?

Well, I woke up this morning and saw the new forum software, and noticed the same problem you did. I immediately woke up my wife and pointed out to her the excessing scrolling I was having to do, and the possibility it might cause me a repetitive stress injury. Since I use a Power Mac G5, I knew the solution. So I went out and bought myself the new 23 incher. 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution ... ah, that's better.

Hmmm - I'm using 1024 X 768 and have no problem seeing everything. No scrolling...

1280 x 1024 on a 17" screen.. fits fine

Its working fine now. I only have the problem when there are large pics.

I dont like when there are huge pictures and its spreads the whole page out and I even have to scroll when I maximize the screen. I hate scrolling, call me lazy.

So--what is the problem here? The first " all topics " page is just fine--but when you select a single topic--WHAM instant large screen--SO is it our individual screens or is it a Forum thing. AND why isn't someone in charge telling us?

I was having to scroll back and forth and used Z-mans setting on mine and now no scrolling. Try adjusting your screen settings a little.

There are some times when someone posts a picture that is 1600 X 1200 or something larger that will cause your browsers to enter scroll mode to allow you to see the whole picture. (We should encourage people to size their pictures down).

Another instance is when someone enters a long string of characters (like ZZZZZ or something) with no spaces in it. If it is wider than your screen, the browser will display a scroll to allow you to see the whole line.

I've now set my monitor to 1024 x x768 and can barely read the text. I have 20/15 vision so how do you guys read it?

Why can't this software retain the functionallity of the old one where it resizes the picture if it's larger than the "normal" size. And then you click on it to see full size. Has everyone already forgotten about that? Maybe it's a setting or something that Troy isn't using???
Troy, where are you?

I just tried increasing the dpi to 120. But some stuff is still small and others just doesn't look right. Guess I was just used to 800x600.

Shylor - you should be able to adjust the size of the text regardless of your resolution. If you use IE, try view/text size to adjust or similar settings in other browsers.

I have a 17" monitor. I'm trying but can't get it just right. What are you guys using?

Shylor

I changed the dpi to a custom setting of 115dpi. What are you guys using with a 17" monitor and the screen resolution at 1024x768?
