Why does the text extend beyond the edges of the screen somtimes and other times it's fits perfect? If there's a fix please let me know. I'm going crazy with the scrolling from side to side.
Thanks again,
Boo

Donny that's got to be a joke eh? I've read post that were 18 paragraphs long that were perfectly formated on the screen. But, sometimes they're a mile wide.

Boo,

There's a significant difference between paragraphs and links. Paragraphs have spaces between the words, therefore word wrap comes into place and everything is on a single page.

Internet site links can be 100 characters long with no spaces, therefore, they do not wrap, thus creating the scrolling problem. Links should be posted using the UBB code, which allows you to merely provide the name of the link, while the actual link address remains hidden within the code. You'll find the UBB code and definitions at the bottom of the reply page.

Cheers,

Gary

Easiest is to use the UBB code, such as I described here . Second easiest is to use http://www.tinyurl.com.

Like Boo, it drives me nuts to have to scroll. I wish everyone knew how to post a link correctly cuz with this forum software, the super wide pages are a pain. (New software makes it somewhat better, in that it only screws up ONE post, not the entire thread.

The UBB codes are very easy to use. Just type [ url= the site address ] The Site Name [ /url ] and do not use any spaces within the squared brackets. That's all there is to it.

Cheers,

Gary
