I noticed if I want to watch a topic, when I come to read from it, the pages are like three times longer than my computer screen meaning I haved to scroll across each line to read each line, miles across the screen, is there a way to get rid of this, it only happens on watched topics and is quite irritating.

Hi Nelson,
This has to do with your monitor settings and perhaps the browser you are using. Try adjusting your monitor settings; this isn’t a bug on our part so there isn’t much we can do about it.
Thanks,
Steve

If you see watched topics stretched across the screen, it means one of the posts is messed up. Scroll down to see which post has text continue off to the right. Post a link to it in this thread and I will fix it.

I just edited one (actually, it was yours Nelson ;-)). Please avoid putting spaces at the beginning of paragraphs, as this is part of the problem.

Also, if you switch to Firefox you won’t have this problem. Firefox wraps these as as separate divs.

LOl, Steve i know not what firefox is lol, i’m ignorant to computer stuff. Plus I’ve just spent half of this months money on a new/secondhand computer so I could’nt afford it if i wanted too.
square ghopper had the same problem, the spaces are probably as a result of my editing habits, sorry about that.

Firefox is free. Just google for mozilla or firefox.

It’s not fair accusing the browser IMO.
statistic
So if more than the half of people are using IE, it is the duty of every page owner to have their page work with it. Right?

Sure, but the problem isn’t our software. The bug occurs when people put spaces before paragraphs. This is a textile formatting device that stretches words across the screen. The only other option would be to remove textile completely, but then you couldn’t format any text.
