Thread too wide for PC screen

mpsgolf · 10-06-2013, 12:46 PM

I posted a new thread today - my first. The pictures and text came out way wider than my PC screen, and scrolling right and left is a pain.

What did I do wrong?

The thread width is set by the picture size. You will need to resize your pictures before posting.

If you go into your User CP and down near the bottom of the 'thread display' options you'll see a setting for automatically re-sizing pictures from threads to fit your screen. I've never played around with it so it might not address your specific issue, but its worth a shot.

Alternatively, you could zoom your browser out a little bit. Usually, the command is 'ctrl -' to zoom out, zooming in is 'ctrl +', and reset to default size is 'ctrl 0'
