Caution: Wide Load

Posted by shrikes on Monday, December 15, 2003 12:00 PM

Hey, Dave... Is it just me, or do some threads scroll horiziontally rather than vertically... something about word wrapping or something. It's like that forum about legalizing weed... is there a fix to this problem?

Are you using Mozilla?

I switch between Mozilla and IE (both on the PC) and have noticed some stuff scrolls horizontally on Mozilla.

I'm Using IE. there are times when it won't go back to normal after the page loads... And, I think there are some posts that "reformat" the width of the forum: like if i use to many "..." with out a space, the forum can't break it up or hyphenate it, so it dispays it all on one line and changes the forum width... it gets rather annoying.

It also happens at times with netscape, problem is that the scroll-bar does not allow me to scroll that far.

it usually is too wide to fit on the screen because there is big image on the thread or something of the sort.

Oh, and dave/lawrence: Is it just me, or is the forum acting kinda funny? I just got an error message from the Aircraft forum saying:
"An error has occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the system administrator at webmaster@kalmbach.com. Thank You."
Are you guys doing an overhaul?

Overhaul? No.

Just some minor tweaking. Everything has been working so well I felt compelled to break something. Wink [;)]

Should be fixed now.

the horizontal scrollign was due to one particualt post involving "noooo" with at least 300 "0" characters with no spacing. this made the IE think that the "noooo...." had to be in one line...... simple explanation Smile [:)]
