Recently the display font has been increased. Even running 1280x1024 resolution, a lot of material runs off the side of the screen, requiring left/right scrolling. Why was the size increased so much? Makes it much more time consuming to read. Am I the only one who thinks this is too large? If I was running lower resolution, it would even be more of a pain. Most web pages are built for 800x600 display these days.

I haven noticed any change on mine. I run 800x600 internet standard resolution, and don't have any problem seeing the entire width of the screen on my old 13" monitor.

I have also had a problem with wide screens that require left and right scrolling, not all of he time, just comes and goes. Sent an e-mail to the webmaster several days ago but no reply yet

Jason,
I never noticed this before but after reading this thread (which fits fine in the screen as all others always have) I went to another thread "Question for Mark Craig" and it does read over width. Font is the same size but I have to scroll sideways to read each line. Can't be our computers on our end because I made no changes between thread changes.
per Jason...
Font sizes are a function of your computer and web browser. I only have limited control over what font style and size you see (always overridden by your computer). If something has changed, it has changed on your computer.
*********************
Nothing has changed on my computer. This is the only site that I see this difference. I know what is happening here, as I design web pages and must constantly test and monitor them.

I never use carriage returns when posting and have never needed to scroll sideways except that post to Mark Craig. No big deal just trying to make a point that there is something going on with some posts and not with most others.
Hi folks,
I to have the wide problem one some posts, but I thought it might be some are using a word processer in order to use spell check. If this is so then could it be the way they have their page formated. I'm computer illerate on this sort af thing as I am sure you can tell .
A few that I have come across are extreeeeemly wide and if they are not very intresting to me I still know where my back button is :.
s To all,and have a super weekend.
