The pages on this board are split in tables. The table for the text part is programmed to make use of 100% of the available width.
Internet Explorer obviously checks first the screen size of your machine and than resizes accordingly. Netscape on the other hand, as it appears, needs the good old fashioned screen size check in the program (the HTML source code for the page) first to start any calculation.
Due to this missing information Netscape simply keeps the page-wrap (what you experience as sideway-scrolling) down to the carriage-returns.
This is a server site issue as this is originating in the source code for the page, nothing you can do about.
Having said all this, also Internet Explorer obviously screws things a bit around, the left part of any page is also displayed very flexible if long user names are presented...just like What_does_this_button_do? resulting in rubber-band setup....
Infopop, the supplier of this board, obviously re-wrote the board completely not using former well working bits and pieces.
