Window Change To View A Thread

**mrlessk** · 12-15-2003, 12:35 AM

How do I describe this problem...?

Unlike other Forums I visit, here in the K-lite Forum, when I go to a Forum Topic then click on a specific person's thread (at this point) the window view changes so I have to use the scroll bar on the bottom to view the entire field instead of having everything from the left to the right within my screen area.

Probably something I can easily change in a setting but I'm just not seeing it. Possibly a Windows setting? I have XP Home, IE6.

Thanks,
mrlessk

What screen resolution do you view the board at?

Sometimes pictures posted by the people are too huge. So if you are viewing a picture thread it might happen. Otherwise if it happens even with text-only thread then it could be your resolution.

Hi Virtualbody1234,

I've always used 800x600 as it is set at now. Keep in mind, it only happens in the KL Forums.

I.am could be on to something here.
Other Forums I attend (e.g. Lavasoft, Net-Integration) people do not usually post the huge pix as we do here in KL.
This could be it?

As an example I just went to the Lounge and picked out a thread (Alex.H) where this occurs...here

Could it be the combo of my 800x600 screen resolution with the large pix is the culprit?

Ok folks, here's what I discovered....looks like it is indeed related to my screen resolution after all.
Sparsely, I set it as you suggested at 1152x864, restarted and found out:

>800x600>>NO READING GLASSES REQUIRED

>1152x866, 1280x1024, etc, etc>>WHERE ARE MY READING GLASSES?

Answers the question as to why I've always used 800x600...lol

So, it's compromise time. I'd of course prefer not to have to grab the glasses each time I want to use the comp so, I'll live with the slight inconvenience of having to scroll from left to right while in the KL Forums (or, for that matter, any other forum I may visit where pix are routinely posted).

Let me know if you think I'm off base, missing something, or if you want to add something.

Thanks for your input folks,
mrlessk

Okay. You're missing something.

Try 1024 X 768. Not too big or too small.

A very popular resolution, and just right for surfing the web.

Ok, tried it. Looks like I'm stuck with the large resolution 800x600. Beyond that requires use of the glasses... and, in a couple of years (or less) will probably need the specs for that too.....anyplace I can download 400x300?...
