technical question

[casey10]

I wonder if one of the sites pc wizards could help with a small problem. When I get to the end of a thread and go to use the ""forum jump"" button, I always have to scroll left about 1/2" to get the button. When I hooked up my new monitor which is much larger than my old one, I thought I would be able to see the whole button. Can you adjust the centering on a monitor?? I hope someone understands my explanation

It could be the browser - I dont know which version of Internet Explorer you are using - but if you are using IE 7 or Firefox, you can resize the size of the view you see.

If you hold down the 'Ctrl' and then depress the ' - ' (minus) symbol on your keyboard, it makes it smaller. Keep hitting the ' - ' minus button to keep making it smaller. That should make everything fit on the screen.

If you want it larger, just do Ctrl and the ' + ' button - not sure if that is what the issue is, but it should be able to fit the whole site on your screen without having to scroll side to side.

Thanks Ted, when I hit control and minus it made the board smaller but by a little too much. There is also a button for magnification of images and it changes by 25% or more. While playing with this button i found it has a"custom"" level where you can change the image size by 1% at a time till you get a perfect fit. No more scrolling from side to side. Thanks again!!

No problem!

It's maddening for me, especially when Im working on the site at home, and it looks fine when Im done - until I view it on another computer with different screen settings

Its impossible to standardize; I know there's a way but I haven't reached that level of geekdom just yet.

in case of need, control and 0 resets zoom to original size
