TPF viewed with a widescreen monitor - 12-15-2006, 12:10 AM


Question out there. I have started noticing that wider pictures are being cut off when viewing post on TPF. It also cuts off the post.

I am viewing in a widescreen format does this make a difference and are there any settings I should change so I can at least scroll to view the entire message and photo?

Thanks

Go to the very bottom of the page. There's a blue bar with a drop down menu that most likely reads "Satellite Fixed". Change it to "Satellite Liquid" and that should fix the problem.

The only issue with Satellite Liquid is when somebody posts multiple images in a single post using the "Image Attachment" feature and you end up with a page that's 2500 pixels wide since the forum software places the images side-by-side. I really hate horizontal scrolling.
