Forum column widths?

[Geoff]

Have you tried pressing Ctrl and turn your mouse wheel that will alter the size of the page. might make your text smaller though.

Re Geoff's suggestion; It's an idea to try but I have my 'zoom' set at 110% as default for all web based viewing and have no problems.

Dave, yes I tried IE9 and my laptop slowed to a stop, had to revert to V8

I would guess it would be OK on a widescreen laptop, sadly can't afford to replace mine at the moment! Tried last night changing the zoom to 90% so it all fits, some of the smilies go a bit fuzzy at that resolution though

I honestly find internet explorer hard work I have had lots of trouble with it, I have tried numerous different internet programs and the best that works for me is Google Chrome, I have adapted it to the way I like it, not sure what it would be like on an old conventional laptop.

Hope you can get satisfaction out of your laptop nothing worse when they do not do as they are told.

Hi Paul

A real pain and sorry I can't think of a solution for you. I have no idea why you should suddenly have the problem.

Guess you could ask a real PC 'expert' who may advise or go online and see if there's a fix. Is the problem purely with the forum site or do you get it when viewing others with similar layouts?

I get mixed up with frames and tables on website design as it's been too long since I was involved in such but I know certain bits can cause problems with some browsers.

Best of luck and hope you get it sorted.

Thanks for your help Geoff and Dave

I'm guessing a real PC 'expert' would tell me to bin it and get a new one This is the only forum I use so can't compare to others either. Oh well, have to live with it I suppose. I still reckon that left column has got wider though!

Well, I've always said the this isn't Internet Explorer friendly.     Not that is doesn't work, as I use IE8 at work with no problems on the forum.

I'm not sure exactly what Emanuele did, but he fixed an issue with large URL links and large pictures 'breaking out' of the area that is designated for posts.  Nothing has changed visually on the four screens that I use daily, and it doesn't seem to be a major problem for anyone else.   Hopefully we can figure something out, but in the meantime please save your money for a new laptop/PC!

If using IE8, try setting the site to run in compatability mode and see what happens ?

Tools -->
Compatability Mode Settings -->
Add http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk
Click Close.
