A new size for the board or ....?

Post by jkrazy52 »

... is my computer wacky?

On my "Poststructural Whistle Board" page everything has stretched out so the topic and the author can't be seen together. I am basically lazy and find scrolling to the side to finish reading a line a tad annoying. Am I alone in this respect?

Is this a permanent change? :sniffle:

It's apparently caused by the Google ad banner. Perhaps if it were situated outside of the tables it would be less widening. The screen is especially wide on the index pages.

I find it annoying also. Can it be adjusted to make viewing easier? Please.

Sorry about that, folks -- tried it from a couple of setups and it looked OK. If you're seeing it stretched out -- what browser, OS, and screen resolution are you using?

Nevermind, duplicated it. myself. I'm not sure what I've done wrong -- it worked ok in 800x600 in Mozilla, flush to the right side of the screen, but IE is indenting it. I'll poke at it this morning but worst case I'll fix it tonight,

There, I think that's got it. IE wanted to pad out around the banner even though it'd fit without. Taking it out of the table took care of things. Let me know if anything else renders funny.

Tell us something.: Well, just trying to update my avatar after a decade. Hope this counts! Ok, so apparently I must babble on longer.

Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.

Seems inocuous enough, but why have the banner anyway? What is next....

I think Dale and Rich have found a way to recover some of the cost of this board. If the banners are the only adds and Rich has fixed the problem, I have NO (edited to say) trouble with them being there.

I have no problem with Rich and Dale finding a way to recover costs, but I thought I remembered Rich saying if the board ever went commercial he'd have to shut it down. Not so any more?
