It might also depend on the resolution you have your screen set to. I think mine is set to 1024 x 768 If yours is set smaller like 800 x 600 your images and text will be larger but you won't have as much room horizontally for text.

I've had subject lines in posts (mainly in kudos for BIG hugs ) that have stretched that forum on my screen until the thread has eventually gone down the list and off the page. In that case, it shouldn't impact threads viewed individually, but rather the entire list of threads in that forum.

Most of the time posts get strrrrrrrrrrrrrretched because of long links. There is a website that will make links smaller and easier for people to navigate. It's called www.tinylink.com. (Just a fyi )
