I think I understand what Romial was talking about now Lil. He said his page is now stretched...and I have the same thing. It's only been since you've added the chat link.
Now let's see if I can explain this and make it understandable...
I'm pretty sure I have a 15" monitor...but I am positive it's no more than 17" (sorry...just too comfy to go get a tape measure and I can't recall the dimensions from when we bought it). Anyway...there have been times...in certain threads...when the extremely large HTML codes were used to make a humongous statement and it stretched out the page so that you'd have to use the scroll bar at the bottom to read all the way across the page and then scroll it back to get to the beginning of the sentence again. Ya know (I don't know if it has a special putereze word for it), it's like the bar at the right side of pages were you scroll up and down...only it's now on the bottom of my monitor too, just above my tool bar, so that I can scroll the page to read the last two or three words in a sentence or thought. If the sentence or thought is too long, a few words now get lost all the way to the right of my screen and I have to use the scroll thingy to move the page over to read the last bits. It's not like this on every thread if it's kept short and sweet and doesn't have too many dots like this.............................................. .........................................
or whatever else might be/is causing it. And, it's not a long way to scroll to see it all...maybe only a half inch or so...compared to if you have a full page in view and you have to scroll up and down and it's a mile long one way or the other.
But, I think his point is...now that the CHAT thing is in place and we have to type in our nic as opposed to it just recognizing us...it has stretched out our page on all the threads so that some words have to be scrolled to view an entire thought.
MAKE SENSE? It sure did in my head, before I started typing it and then reread it! Lemme know iffin you can make heads or tails of it...k?
I don't think it's something we couldn't get used to. It's just never happened before unless I've read a thread that took up too much HTML space and I had to scroll over to read an entire thought.
Now...the best question of all! Are me and Romial the only ones having this happening to us? I have to know! Only problem is...I worded it as best I can I don't don't know how to ask any better or how I can fix it on my own if it's only him and I. Should I start a thread about it and confuse the hell out of the rest of the clan? LOL!
HELP!
