Default Hola from central Iowa
Just found this forum yesterday and immediately registered.

Wife and I making first trip in May.

Have a question. Is there a way I can read threads without scrolling across the screen. Is it on my end or the forums?

Thank's for any help. Craig.

Hey Craig, welcome to In The Roo!

At the moment, the forums are designed to work with a specific screen size that appears to be larger than what you currently have available. It is on my list of improvements to make. As you are not the first to mention this, I will move that up in my priority list.

Default Thank's John.
Have a 17" screen at home and have the same problem.
Thought it was something on my end but apparently not.
Some times see people post trip reports on another board
and their pictures and text stretch past the viewable screen.
Kind of annoying is all.
Plan on posting report upon return in May so need to know how to avoid this.????
Was going to write report in "word" and then transfer it (copy & paste)? it on the forum with the pic's. from photo bucket.
Does this sound plausible?
Thank's for any help or tip's in advance. Craig.

Thanks John if you can fix it.

Craig, welcome to the forum! Did you know you can put a countdown timer until your trip in May on your posts by clicking here ?

Hi Hawkeye...

Welcome to the Roo.

I would type your report in WordPerfect or Notepad, I have no idea why, but they seem to paste better to site using this software. If you type it in word, sometimes you get some weird smilies (must be an HTML thing) and you might want to "preview post" before submitting, so you can edit that stuff out.

As far as your viewing problems go, I am not sure how to help you...

Either way, welcome to the Roo and GO CYCLONES!!!


PS-I think we live near each other...
