Just wondering why sometimes when I long onto Forum the screen size varies. Sometimes it is just in the centre of my computer screen and other times it is almost the full width... Its much better when it is the full width... Any chance of keeping it this way?

Are you on different computers at those times? If so, it probably has to do with the individual screen resolution on them. The lower the resolution, the bigger the picture.
If its not that then its just your internet browser being silly methinks.
Oh and it could be something else too. Do you (or anyone else who uses your comp) use ctrl+mouse wheel to make text and stuff bigger? Could be that.

It's to do with images being posted that are bigger than the default posting space and ends up stretching it out to accomodate the image.

Campbells, No Im on the same laptop all the time, no one else has access to it. I think Joe could be right because when I go onto the section where the photos of the trees in Castletown were posted the screen stays nice and wide. Can it be set to stay this size?

I think it would be good if the forum area was the full width of the screen, but it is somewhat frustrating when large images stretch the screen and one has to continually scroll down to the bottom of the page to move the scroll bar.

Im sure it must be simple enough for the screen size to be widened. Afterall when photos are put up they "stretch" the screen so it should be easy enough for Campbells to adjust it.

If I make it wider and somebody says its too wide, you can all f*ck right off. ;D ;D ;D ;D
My time in college and work has been cut even shorter due to the bastard flu so I have to work from my bed, which is highly unfortunate for it as i tend to sneeze on the effin' thing every 5minutes or so.
If there are any other queries or requests like this, I suggest people pm me about them as well as make a thread about it here. That way you'll know I'll see 'em and they'll get sorted as soon as possible.

Campbells, I have sent you a PM about the screen, as you suggested. I forgot to put a title on it.

ChewChew, I meant to thank you for the Queen song on the other topic, but I didn't get time.
As for the screen, it is very frustrating for desktop PCs. The writing on the right goes off-screen. Consequently, you have to keep scrolling down to the bottom to move the scroll bar for every post you read. If you notice on other forums, there is about a half inch space on each side of the forum window, so that you know that you are seeing all that is written. It doesn't seem to be a problem for laptop users, but most people use desktop computers.
