Once again, at the risk of repeating myself and others, if you have a problem with the layout and you have to keep scrolling left to right then you are more than likely using Netscape as your browser. In tests of five other browsers there is no problem so until I can isolate the problem all I can suggest is that you use a different browser. They are all available for free from many different loactions.

Just a quick suggestion here:
If you removed the 'Number of Views' and 'This topic's rating' columns on the forum screen, it would make the subject area wider, which would make things easier to read, and would also make more threads visible on the first page due to less line-spillage for the topic.
See what I mean?
Looks great really . . . I'm used to it already!

Great improvement. Works fine with Internet Explorer 6
I was curious to see what Netscape made of it so downloaded and installed Netscape 6.2.2 and it also works perfectly.
People running old versions of Netscape should know it used to be a very unforgiving, strict browser. This caused a lot of people to throw it out as half the web is 'broken' in some minor or major way.
Seems to me version 6.2.2 is a big improvement, much more fault tolerant. It's a 17 Meg download from http://home.netscape.com/download/

Some of us use netscape
Unfortunatly(?), those of us in the UNIX world do not have access to MSIE, or the bulk of other browsers (the only real alternative is Opera (which comes with built-in flashing ads)).
Is there any known work-around for this problem with page width?

Speed is much better, but the screen width is annoying in Netscape.
For the technician: every message starts with <TD allkindsoffstuff nowrap>.
My guess would be that it would work fine if the nowrap part is removed. Hope it helps.

I wish to make it known that the total posts of 266 attributed to me is entirely incorrect. I have in fact wasted half my recent life on this channel and in doing so have posted well over 500 pieces of inane drivel .
Thank you.

May I refer to Sir Danny in all my confidence:
"The total number of posts is so low on my list of priorities that I think you should forget about it. It is not relevant and proves nothing. 2,000 posts with nothing but inane drivel are not worth one post which is interesting and informative. Please stop going on about the number of posts"

Had a problem with my real name being displayed initially, but a quick email to the nice moderator chaps soon sorted out that problem - Thanks Mik.
It's like being in a nice new house, lovely and shiny and everything easy to play with. Bravo Danny & co!!!

Excellent work guys
This upgrade is really superb.
The format is an excellent improvement.
It is fast. Full of useful features. User friendly. Simple to use (even for me).
Plus you did this with all the other stuff you have going on.
With any change, there will always be some resistance, but I would suggest that anyone who does not like this format try to recall the old format 60 days from now!
Great work - thanks for the time and effort you put in to this site.
I'm so impressed that I have ordered my Bank to quadruple my subscription!

Great stuff Danny
For some, accessing this board is not always from the same PC; could be home, internet cafe, airport lounge, work or somewhere else. Only at home do you have the option of choosing your browser. I Am therefore looking forward to the Netscape fix which should cure the right/left scroll headache I am developing

Shareware - Freeware
Freeware is great - Shareware really has to be worth it and then some
From where I'm looking - I think there should be an account we can chip into just to help young Danny - coz this is great and there is no way Danny should pay for ALL of our fun
A lot of our postings may be drivle and codswallop but if we didn't enjoy being here - probably none of us would be.
Great job Captain
Thanks a 1'000'000
Danny tell us where that "hat" is - some of the beer money I save in front of this thing should be paying for server upgrades if nothing else.
Come on lads - all of those who are still employed - rally round.

If it ain't broke - don't fix it

Checking out new software
Some nice touches over what was already an excellent system, like being able to see whose on line at the same time.
Also checking to see my login name appears on this post instead of my publicly displayed name as they were different. Looks like others have had the same problem if I read previous posts correctly.
