Last time the reason given was new ads added that pushed the display to the right.

Thanks for you patience while we worked on this. On our larger monitors it does look to be back to normal now. Please let us know if you are still seeing the issue.

Those of you that are saying it is too big, what is your screen resolution please?

My screen seems to also be missing some of the vertical dividing lines, maybe they are just to pale to see? Something is not right. Don't know my screen resolution........old laptop.

This problem must have been fixed by now. My screen looks just like it always does.

The ads running vertically at the left seem larger.
The TOTV page heading is the same width as in the past as is the toolbar below that. Everything below that causes the data to display almost 3 inches wider than previously. I have to scroll the page horizontally to get to the right side.
When I click 'Reply' to to get to the screen where I'm entering this info, the display width is fine - same as it has been in the past.
Screen resolution is 1024 x 768.
Hope that helps!
Bill :)

Too wide for me. Just a bit but I need to scroll to the right for it to fit and than I lose the ads on the left.

It's all a conspiracy to get us to by new computers and larger monitors! I have the same problem Bogie Shooter.:confused:

Mine still off-center..........until I click on the "View First Unread" when viewing an updated thread. Then it shifts everything to the left and the full width of the posts is visible.

Mine is off center when I click "new posts" which are centered, but when I click any post they are off center. I have not made any adjustments to my 'puter. We had this before and it was a result of new ads being added....oops I said that before.

I think it is very annoying... and COULD be fixed.:Screen_of_Death:
Let me add - if I was an ad poster, I would be upset big time. Ads are cut off!

Same here; no issues with mine this time. Did have problems the last time.
My screen is back to normal and I didn't do anything to make that happen.

Hey Admin. If and when you get around to fixing the screen size, could you also set the clock correctly? Just saying....

Thanks for fixing my typo. How about the screen size?
The time on my post is 5:14 p.m. Log out and look at the same post
and it says 6:14 p.m.

I have accepted the fact to live with the screen size as being too large. Just move the bar at the bottom on every post read. What a PItA.

Just out of curiosity, could you click on User CP and click on Edit Options and go down to the Time options and see what option you have for DST. You should have Automatically detect DST or DST off.
Also verify that you have -5 for the GMT offset.
Just a thought.

Screen size.... ipad, no problem
Desktop, Firefox browser...no problem
Desktop, Internet Explorer at 150% zoom does force a small horizontal scroll bar area.
At 100% or 125% zoom, no scroll bar
21" monitor at 1024 resolution. I will send Admin some screen shots.
Your results may differ ;)

What we have learned is that as we progress and need to update software that these upgrades are starting to not support older hardware ie: monitors.
For example, there are currently 6% of the users on the site that have monitors that have a resolution capability of 1024x768 which is why the screen image now appears different. If you go to newegg.com you'll see that out of 367 monitors for sale only 5 have resolution of 1024x768. Only 14% of all internet users have this remaining hardware resolution.
If you are experiencing an issue and are not using a monitor 1024x768 please let me know as we suspect this issue is primarily with users using a 1024x768 monitor.

But thanks for the try.

I looks like it has been fixed to me. If I sign out and look at this post the time is still 9:55.
But since BOMBERO made the initial complaint, I will leave it to him to verify the fix.

Before today I would have to scroll about 2 inches over but today it's down to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. My monitor is 1024x768. Hope this info helps. :)

That would make sense as the 1024x768 is not really supported by the newer technologies.

I'm using a Compaq laptop with a resolution of 1366x768...I still have to scroll to the right thus cutting off the ads on the left.

I was at work when I wrote that earlier and now I'm home with the same screen size and have to scroll about 1.5 inches. Doesn't make sense to me. Same screens, different scroll distances. I guess I'm not geeky enough to get it! I don't understand why newer technologies don't support this when I just bought this Dell monitor new last year. What is considered the current standard?

if i change my resolutions from 1024 x 768 to 1152 x864 it is ok. Why is every other site fine with the 1024x768 ???? If I change to 1152x864 everything else is too small. This is the only site that I have to scroll with 1024x768 why is that ????
