Lines too long - how to fix ?

I'm new to this forum, so please excuse me if I'm asking a lame question :oops: Hope I'm not the only one.

Somehow when I am reading the forum posts on my screen, they lines are really long and don't wrap to my window. I need to maximise my window and sometimes must even scroll my window left and right in order to read the messages. Is there a way I can set things in IE so that the lines can wrap to my window width, or some preference setting somewhere that I can tell it to wrap ?

:newbie:

If i am not wrong, does the topic itself contains attached pictures?

P.S Forgot to mention this forum is 1024 by 768 friendly, try not to use 800 by 600.

Hmm....thanks for the hints but I haven't figured how to overcome it yet. Seems like it's linked to the length of the index bar at the top. When I increase or decrease the font of my browser, the length of the wrapped line does change, but I am still not able to reduce it to a width that I would prefer.

Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me ?

Can I ask which version of browser you are using ? If you resize your window so that it gets more tall and skinny, do the words still wrap properly or does it stop wrapping at a certain point ? Mine stops wrapping when the menu line at the very top (starting with "Portal - Recent Topics...") is encroached upon.

Try upgrading your IE.

It's already at 6.0.2900.2180.

sometimes, some registry setting could be the culprit and since IE is so stubborn, perhaps you can try another browswe like Firefox. its safer as well..
me? I'm using Netscape 7.2 (yeah!)
