Thread: Paragraphs being cut off

  1. #1

    Default Paragraphs being cut off

    I noticed that people's paragraphs were being cut off on the right hand side. This happens quite a bit, but especially so with long quotes.

    Any help on this?

    Thank you.

    Can you scroll to the right? Do you have a link to an example?

    What browser are you using? Try a different one.

    It doesn't always do it. It basically gets cut off at the right side of the scroll. I use explorer.

    Which version of I.E. Divinus Arma? It does the same for me when using I.E. 5.0. It's a browser problem. Pretty annoying how those browsers can still be a problem for simple page display.

    In the past I had a webpage that looked normal in Netscape, but it was very ugly in I.E. and vice versa :)

    Heh, so that might explain why so many websites use stupid fixed width columns designed for 800*600 instead of proportional like they all should

    I get a bunch of Sigs get cut off at the bottom but thats because I have Firefox with the min. text size set to 16.
    I hate tiny text.
    Setting a fairly big min. reasonably often causes formatting issues like that so I aint really worried.
    maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...

    I keep my resolution at 1024x768 to keep the text readable. No need to fiddle with min text size.

    See my sig? some lines dropped off, and I don't know why. can someone help me with this?



    EDIT: when editing my sig, or looking at profile, I do see all.

    do you guys see '47Ronin Drisos' on the bottom of it? then it's no problem.

    it's quite long, btw. I won't use it in all my posts, only ones which are being read by people for who it's intresting.

    It's about the unevenly controled signature limitation. On private modding boards you are "silently" allowed to wear 70+ K banners but on the public ones you have to keep its size under 10 K and yur text must not exceed -iirc- 11 lines.

    Click somewhere in the middle of your signature and drag downwards. It's all there, in a separate frame, but it's not visible unless you make it visible.
