When viewing some topics the text disappears off the right hand side of my monitor and I have to use the bar which appears at the bottom to move it leftwards so that I can read it - it only does it with some topics and the rest are fine. Is there some way I can do a screen wrap or whatever to correct this? Thanks for any help.

Raymond (Not very good at this sort of thing !)

 

Ive had this problem aswell but only in certain peoples threads or replies not the rest of thread. Hav'nt got a clue why either, running windows Me at the moment and have not seen it happen yet, although i will be going back to 98 soon coz me is cr@p.

It happens when people like Mr Cookie types replies to Dave T-S postings and uses very long words like;

ppppppppppplllllllleeeeeeaaaaaaasssssssseeeeeeeee! !

Hope you are now suitably enlightened !

yeah but carolyn ive had it on a normal post too

It happens for me when people type a long para with no <cr>'s in.

But only if I have the favourites/history thingy at the left of the screen enabled. If you get rid of that the text wraps properly.

In fact typing this reply I have a scroll bar that goes away if I get rid of the favourites thingy.

"Feature" in IE5?

Cheers

PS Simon/Mr Cookie, did I see your car parked on the pavement outside Kings Court today? I think it was yours. How's the squash going?

PPS Editing this to say bet the you suffer the lost text thing with the text in the PS!

I'm a lot wiser now guys and gal

 

Dang it thought i might have had it then Carolyn

 

Sensible head on now for me it appears to be on threads started by certain people, could this mean some like they use a bigger desktop size than most or cookies unabled.

Simon

 

and ive just noticed something else this page suufer from it very very slightly yeaterday but today no probs at all.

Simon

 

Sorry if i've confused the issue, but I've shortened the long word I typed previously as I was fed up using the scroll bars the read all the replies to this post.

That is why it all fits on one screen now without scrolling.

 

Carolyn also forgot to mention we have a 19" monitor and it doesn't cause such a problem bcos it is wider.
