screen size

[TerrieL]

OK, first off, I admit I am not very computer savvy so this probably has an easy fix but I am having an occasional problem with screen size. Most of the time I can see the entire post (width wise), however this is not always the case. Some times the posted message is much larger than the entire maximized screen and I have to use the scroll bar at the bottom to move the screen from side to side to read. This does not happen with every thread and just seems to happen every now and then. I have tried minimizing the screen then back to maximize and that on occasion has re-set the screen.
I have not had this issue in the past and have noticed it since getting a new lap top with Windows 8 ( I like to blame everything on Windows 8).
If anyone knows what I am doing wrong or an easy fix please let me know.
thanks

Mine does that when someone post either a large picture or alot of pictures. I just wait and give the post time to load then it goes to normal. I dont know if this is the same problem, but its a thought.

I know what you're talking about. The cause is the "Thanks" feature. When folks thank a post, it lists their name beneath that post. Most of the time, if there are multiple names in the list, the line will break and wrap like regular text. But sometimes the list of names will configure in such a way that the "break" doesn't happen, and instead of wrapping, it stretches out horizontally. This is on our list of things to fix, but because the problem is so sporadic, it hasn't been a high priority. I think I'll nudge our tech team to take another look at it.

Well that make sense, thank you for the answer. Well shoot I guess this is one less thing I can blame on Windows 8
