Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
Most of the posts to my forum stay within a certain width that's readable on the screen, but sometimes a thread "grows" in width, and I have to keep scrolling back and forth to read it. I hate it when that happens!
My admin options are set to the default.
Left Column width - 100
Topic NOWRAP left - On
Right Column width - 100%
Topic NOWRAP right - Off
The Screensize box at the top of each post is the same: 800 x 600
Help!

Some times a poster will have an image or text without a space larger than the Screensize box so everything scrolls. Like this message!
You'll need to edit those, most members dislike it also and will try to avoid it. |

| Theres a mod out there to resize images that are larger than a given size, have a browse through the mod forum or search for 'image resize' in there. |

Thank you!
I couldn't tell which message was causing the problem, since there was no image or text on the screen that appeared to extend wider than the window. So, I edited each post and hit "return" at the end of every line until I finally got the thread to the proper size. Whew!

If you draw a continuous line wider than the page in a posting, it will cause all the text in the whole topic to run off the right side of the page.
_______________________ ...a line like this only much wider >>>
This problem is easily avoided by keeping any continuous lines narrower than the page. If you have any postings that are triggering this "wide page" software glitch, it will be appreciated if you go back and shorten any wide continuous lines you have in there so we can see the text within the width of the page. Thanks!
PS -- This situation applies to any string of characters wider than the page with no space in it. |

How do I make 640 x 480 the default screen size in post.asp? Currently its set to 800 x 600.
Post.asp (line 597)
b>Screensize:</b></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>" & vbNewLine & _
" <select name=""SelectSize"" size=""1"" tabindex=""-1"" onchange=""resizeTextarea('" & strUniqueID & "')"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <option value=""1"""
if strSelectSize = "1" then Response.Write(" selected")
Response.Write ">640 x 480</option>" & vbNewLine & _
" <option value=""2"""
if strSelectSize = "2" or strSelectSize = "" then Response.Write(" selected")
Response.Write ">800 x 600</option>" & vbNewLine & _
" <option value=""3"""
if strSelectSize = "3" then Response.Write(" selected")
Response.Write ">1024 x 768</option>" & vbNewLine & _
" <option value=""4"""
if strSelectSize = "4" then Response.Write(" selected")
Response.Write ">1280 x 1024</option>" & vbNewLine & _
" </select>" & vbNewLine & _
" </font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine
end if

Not sure why you would want to do it, but... I moved the part in red. This is what it will look like when done.

Well the metaframe neoware boxes that are at our workstations don't support 800 x 600, well they do but the Network Admin has them locked down to "I can't read because I'm blind, and your are going to have to suffer until I die or quit" setting, so I'm stuck with designing everything in the 100000x magnification level. Did you know that period's have nuts? Well at 640 x 480 you can see that period's have nuts. I won't even go into what comma's look like... So do you know what 12pt font looks like at 640 x 480 in 16 bit color? God forbid someone bold any text in my forum. Not to mention that I have Site Integration with a 130 pt menu bar on the left hand side
My next step is to remove the size 2 through 6 font so I don't get slapped with arial bold font at level 6 the next time I open a message.
So if I remove that red section, it will default to 640 x 480? I still want to be able to select the 1024 x 768 option when I'm working from my desktop box. I don't design IN 640 x 480, even though I design FOR 640 x 480 on a closed network where we control the browsers, the apps and the resolution... Go figure. I hope that answers your question. |

The red section was what I had moved. If you replace what you had posted with what I had posted, 640 x 480 will be the default if the user doesn't have anything else selected.
Oh, and I feel your pain - but that's another story for another time.  |

i have seen on some forums (not snitz) where if/when a message gets to wide it will have its own little iframe that the message/image will be placed into so that it doesnt mess up the rest of the website but still aloows for the wide messages/images.
maybe this could be done on snitz as well |

| With a little CSS and some careful coding you could probably hack it into the current code. Have a look at the code for the Signature Limit MOD (may just be called the Sig Limit MOD or some other variation) and it should give you a good idea of where to start. |

Your welcome. 
Hope you don't have to view 640x480 on a big-screen monitor...  |
