Ken, I can get there either way. I don't know if you can or not. If you go to My Profile see if there is a small crayon to the right of your name. If there is, it should take you to your profile just like Settings. I'll log in as Rock after while and see what the view is.
No crayon there. I never had crayons. Heck, they never gave me pens or water color paints, either. And Magic Markers? FORGET THAT!Quote:

This left to right scrolling is annoying especially when I have the browser window set so I can see part of my computer desktop.
Is there a minimum requirement for the browser being used?
Yes. Hold the CTRL key down and use the wheel on your mouse to make it smaller. One click should fix it. Mine did the same thing. It will stay like that each time you log on, too.
Yeah...but if I do that, then every post has the scroll up and down...and side to side thingys.Quote:

Most web pages auto-resize when you change the browser window size, without making the text smaller.
You shouldn't have to click this or that.
I'm just wondering if this outdated computer isn't up to handling the new forum software, but it sounds like others have the same thing.
I'm still not following you. Can't you size it down so the page is centered on the screen? The bar at the bottom will disappear.
Only by making the text impossible to read.
Go to any other website, grab the lower corner of your webbrowser window and resize it smaller. The web page will usually narrow up to accommodate you doing that (up to a point). This site does not do that.
It's set at fixed width.
Ooooh. You're using Internet Explorer (yuck). That's why I'm not following. I use Firefox (big yeah).
I'm using Firefox.
But I'm also using a Mac.
And both are old cuz this home machine is an ooooold Mac.
I'll check at work on Monday to see if an updated system is needed.
If so, I get to scroll on this site, I guess. All other sites behave normally and resize with the browser window. I don't know enough about web programming to even be dangerous but I know this has something to do with a 'dynamic' setting versus a 'fixed width' setting somewhere.
That's what I was trying to 'splain to you. When the bar at the bottom dis-appears, it then is in every individual post. (And a bar on the side, is also in every post.)Quote:

Maybe if you use IE, you'll also see the double words! :clover:
But I don't want to see them.
...but how else are you going to fix it??? LOLQuote:

Fix it? You don't think I actually WORK around here do you? That hurt just typing it. Oh, Chrisssssssss!
That level of fix is in the bowels of the forum. I'm not at all surprised that you'd be there but it's not something I can remedy. Chris will have to twik the tables or fix the forms or correct the code of whatever it is he does. It's all quite beneath me.
