Is there a way to make the posts I view all the same size?
Some posts are very wide and I don't know why or if I can change them in my view.

Thank you.
Thanks for this!

I agree - the same things happening to me and I don't know why. I have to go to the bottom of the screen and used the side areo's to get it to move over.

Yeah, I agree, having to do that bothers me too.

I think it has to do with the size of the poster's signature. The poster will have to be the one to make the change by making the signature smaller or not centering it.

Some posts are very wide ...
I've found that posts here go "wide" only when there's something -- a long text string, a picture -- "propping" the post wider than normal.

I've noticed that the software inserts a space into long text strings after a certain number of characters...
12345678101234567820123456783012345678401234567850123456786012345678701234567880
...apparently depending on the font size in use. That would ordinarily serve to keep the string from getting long enough to affect the post width. As I've mentioned before, this can even cause a long string of smilies (like the dancing chili) to get an unwanted break in the middle:


Pictures sometimes, not always, get scaled down automatically -- or maybe they all would if I were to stick around long enough to let them finish loading.

I don't have problems with signatures because I'm using the option that turns them off.
Thanks for this!

lol Fool Zero!

Yes, I do know what causes the wide posts.
I just wondered if I could make all the posts I view one size.

What seems to be causing wide posts the most for you?

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
