Characters and wrap?
Hi David,
I'm beginning to feel like a real pest EEK but
what the hey, here goes:
No one else has complained about having to
scroll off the screen to read a whole line of text but
me have they?
Is it possible to easily change the number of characters
"per line" without that effecting other aspects of the
forum setup as is?
BTW... I tried changing to 600 x 800 (whatever) and
that didn't work with my setup. Messed up the graphics
and there is no way for me to enlarge the fonts in
here that I've found yet, through my own browser or
control panel settings ... bummer.
Hope your weekend had some RandR time :) Oh and thanks regards your comment about my reply to
longterm SA impact.

I think fonts can be enlarged (individually) through Internet Explorer, can't they?
Through 'View' on the top toolbar, and 'text size'... but I may be wrong...
it's just that I had to look into that recently, as my AOL browser does not have 'View' at the top.
I know in the forum that I set up, there is a way of enlarging the forum text (but that is Invision software), and I couldn't do it, but thankfully I have a co-Admin now, who is a computer genius, and he has done it... ha ha ha :D

DOWNLOADING new stuff ... CAN'T ... absolutely no room on HD and no $ to upgrade/fix
...NO ... there is nothing I can remove to make more room
GRAPHICS (all images/icons/boxes/pictures/words) messed up with = from after bootup to desktop, and everything else ... very rough "pixelly" (dots - think pointilism) ugly distorted blurry (right terminology???)
FONTS ... I'll go into my main Windows CP and enlarge fonts that way if I can ... and test. You're correctthat justmy browsersettings do nothing for this particular site (but works for all the others I visit???)
Not to worry yourself too much with this David ... you'll start charging me for troubleshooting EK grin ...I'm going to try changing fontsize thruWin95 now).
Enjoy your morning coffee ... I hope its not raining there too :(
