Tyler, I am having some difficulty looking at some of the forums, where the words arent contained within the border of the page. So I can't read the entire sentence, view entire pictures etc. There is no scroll bar that I can see. I don't know if I am the only person experiencing this.

Gaz

Stand back.

I get it as well Gareth, it occurs when someone has posted images without arranging each on a new line. As you say there is no scroll bar, so you have to put the cursor on to the text and move it along to see the RHS.

I was getting that a lot in IE before I switched to Chrome for my browser. Now it never happens

Hi Gareth,

Jerry is correct, this happens when a person posts a large image and the image isn't properly resized by the forum software. Whenever you insert an uploaded image make sure the image dimensions are shown in the width and height boxes. If those boxes are blank click in one of them and the numbers will get filled in automatically. If someone uploades in image while these boxes are blank than the image stays at it's original size (because the software doesn't know that the image is too large).

Anyway, whenever you see a post like this send the poster a PM and ask them to go in and delete the offending large picture and re-insert it. That will fix the issue. If they don't want to fix it, or can't seem to figure out how to fix it, send me a PM with the link and I'll take care of it.

When I see posts that have this issue I edit them for the poster, but sometimes (like this week) I am out of town for a few days for work and I can't get to it.

There is a new version of the forum software coming out soon. Hopefully when I upgrade this will be one of the issues that they fix.

NOTE: I work full time and I'm attending college full time as well. So if it takes me a few days to respond, please don't take it personally. If it's urgent please send me a Private Message.

I'm not sure yet. I haven't read the release notes. But potentially. If so, I'll let people know in advance.
