How come some people's posts are so wide I have to scroll OVER to read them? Then some people's posts fit neatly onto my screen? Do I have some freaky setting going on or what? Could somebody with more computer brains than I care to have please help me out?

It all has to do with images. Some sigs are huge, some are small, some (like mine) are meant to fit perfectly. Same goes with pics in posts...

You need to turn up your resolution (right click desktop->Properties->Settings). Set it to at least 1024x768, preferably 1280x1024.

what he said... still sometimes if someone posts a HHHHUGE photo widthwise scrolling will be a necessary evil.

And yet sometimes we can be proactive and reduce the size of an image to accomodate our small-screen, low-res, or dial-up members. Very few pics need to be that large and irritating.

What Fly said... my screen's resoltion is only something like 800 pixels wide. I have a very slow dial up connection. My PC is super crappy. So... the less ridiculously sized pics, the better mood I will be in due the less amount of problems. :D And you know BV when he's in a bad mood... :P

BTW, I was planning on making a complaint about this. It is annoying.

I have an four accounts jam-packed with reduced images... two Photobucket Accounts, one Imageshack and a Photodump, I was not trying to say posting images 1200 x 800 pixles is curtious or even advisable. I spend the time and post things right.

Which is why occasionaly you'll see a photo thread where I'll say

too big to post:
