Forum reading = hard

Um.... am i the only one here who uses 800-600 resolution? its a pain in the ass having to scroll across to read posts.......could that be changed for us who are visually chalenged and must use lower resolution?

well, these kinda of forums were designed for 1024x768 viewing (or atleast they probably were) but one way to help is to click F11 to make the internet explorer screen thingy bigger

800 by 600 is lame dude use 1024x768 its so muchh betteerrrr

Duece, not everyone has the abbility for that

Tmisgod, we try to keep everyone happy here. As for the 800x600 browser we reduced the maximun sig size so there would be less scrolling. It's not perfect for 800x600 I agree, But it's hard to keep everyone happy..

try that f11 suggestion, might help a bit

No no no.. Like half of the time the width of the forums gets blown out of proportion for some reason. It's annoying to have to scrool with each line. I use 1152x864, but my taskbar is on the left side of my desktop and even with the taskbar at the bottom I have to scroll. I think it's people's sigs or something. I don't know.

On the forums, go to UserCP and then to Options. In here, uncheck the tick-boxes next to "Avatars" and "Signatures". This will hide all signatures and avatars from viewing when you are logged into your account.

This should help decrease the load on your 800x600 resolution.

The scroll problems are caused by people who use the CSS code in ecma to make their sig text glow. They don't know how to nest and close them properly, sometimes interfering with the forum software.

has nothing to do with being an amateur :S some people just dont want higher than 800x600, or just simply cant.

Really Pain, I could run it in 2040x1600 but why the hell would I ever want to do that? I use 1024x768 so I can actually see things and I *still* have to scroll in most of these threads. Perhaps there should be a restriction imposed on glowing text.

I run 1280 x 1024 and i still have to scroll over as well.

chill guys i was only kidding... gees

i scroll plenty some of the time

I run at 1152x768 and have to scroll when a quote is made 90% of the time but by the looks of this thread that may be fixed

well having all the resolution in the world wouldnt fix that cause its just a bug that happens on the forums occasionaly

yes, yes it is

Btw tmisgod your complaining about having to scroll to read well your sig is currently forcing me to scroll fix it

i use the 1200 by 1000 what ever and i still can't see the posts...its not just the 800 by 600's, you just talk to much.

Yea Scrolling isn't that bad :]
I don't mind doing it, just a lil forum bug.

hehe,Dev I remember you saying ' if anyone steals god's gift to females...'

look at tmisgod's sig :laff:

i have the same thing every time every post i think it is a pretty big bug...has anyone got any idea how to fix it??

Another thing that causes scrolling is images that are large. Or not putting a line between your signature and text... so if you get that taken care of, it will help with some of the scrolling. Most of the time on 1280 x 1024, horizontal scrolling isn't that bad, so if you can, look into trying to get that resolution.

1280 x 1024 bi0tch!
