Mine changed to a very large screen also. I haven't had the time to mess with it though.

mine changed to a big screen too with a scroll bar at the bottom. If I shrink it to the next smaller size which it 75% it's too small to read

I just tried the "Zoom out" feature at the bottom right of the screen. It went to 90% and most of the screen is in view but the scroll bar is still at the bottom and the extreme left and right edges of the page are still hidden

Mine is back to the wider screen also. Back to using the right/left arrows or track pad to pan left or right.
Oh well, this is minor compared to the new issues I have with my boat. Sad

I have been attempting to adjust the personal page section for various reasons.

Can you tell me if this site works properly for you?

Joe, the link to your other site works perfectly on my laptop. The layout being VERY similar (almost identical) to WC is fully viewable.

Yes, they are "almost" identical but different in width by 200 pixels.

It seems that a handful of people here can't handle the extra 200 pixel width in their browser window for some reason.
Many sites today are using a fixed width of 980 pixels.
I will have to try something else.
Doesn't make sense to me but then I haven't used a Windows machine since I quit work back in 2000.......

Thanks for the input.

What OS are you guys using? This site comes up fine while using Firefox and IE8. My OS is Windows XP. Are you guys using Vista?

During this whole discussion, I've not once had a problem with screen size.

Cliff, I'm running Windows XP and using IE8 or Firefox, I get the same results. You can notice the timeline of changes by the posts that I put in. This is not a huge earth shattering issue, just a bit annoying.

I changed it back on the main page and am using the settings only in the personal page section for a test.

You might notice a little difference in the personal page section.
Still have more to adjust.

I just can't stand using a full window view which most Windows computers use to view a page that should really only be 980 pixels wide.
Too much wasted space in my opinion.

Thanks for the feedback.

Mine is back to normal, Thanks Joe.
I can't imagine all the work that you have to put in to manage this site and your other(s). I for one want to thank you.
