Need Your Help Board in General Discussion

Why does this board stretch horizontally far beyond borders? None of the the others do.

It's your browser. $5'll get you $10, you're using Firefox. If someone posts a link and you're using Firefox as a browser, FF doesn't text wrap (break the link in half and post it as a complete link to fit window). If there is a picture that is too big for your set dimensions, that will also cause you to right scroll. If you're not using FireFox as a browser, (assuming you're not using a Mac) go into Settings -> Control Panel -> Display and click Settings then adjust your pixels settings. Mine is set at 1024 x 600 pixels. Move that pointer to the right to adjust it.

Sam, I'm using IE as my browser. I did go into display and change from 1280 x 800 to 1024 x 768. That gave me a less than sharp display and did not eliminate the horizontal scroll.

It's just the General Discussion forum, not the entire message board? Is it the whole forum or just a specific thread?

It's just the thread titled "Need Your Help" The author posted a large pic of a horse and after re reading your previous post, that is likely the reason. Thanks.
