Anyone else found that they to scroll / move the pages to read the text. It was a bit annoying having to scroll back and forward when the pictures are too large. Does anyone else find that they now have to scroll the test to read each line, I can shrink the page to 75% but the text is so small I have to use a magnifying glass to read it.

this is the size it needs to be now fit the whole page on the screen

It more likely to be a browser setting; I use multiple devices to access the site, all format the page properly apart from an old laptop running IE 6, which doesn't. I use it so infrequently that I have never bothered to find what ever setting needs changing !

Hi
The only times I have a real problem are when pictures are too big or they haven't done a "next line Enter key" for the next photo in a set.
Having said that I use IE9 and prefer to keep my Favourites panel visible on the left hand side so I did have to scroll about half an inch to see both edges of this thread.
I'm using 1280x768 32 bit on a 33cmx20.5cm laptop screen.

I noticed this too. I also see the forum banner heading has changed. Has the software been upgraded Rick?

That's strange! I now see the page as normal and I haven't changed anything. When I was here an hour or so ago the right side of the page ended at the 'VIEWS' column and I had to pan to get the last column in.

I can only think that perhaps one element of the page was delayed in being downloaded, until then the page hadn't fully loaded and sorted out its final display layout/positioning. I've not changed anything since last posting here.
