GET STUCK IN...
|
I posted a message in the Common Room with a picture that came out much bigger than I expected. This has resulted in the text covering too wide an area to read comfortably on both that and the replies. I have now halved the size of the picture, but the text is still unwieldy. How can I rectify this?

Hi Dimps,
the problem now, is that you posted an URL which is wider than the screen. Nothing you can do about it really, ........
unless you use this idea from JAP:
If you don't already know (and as it can get distracting scrolling across posts) there is a wonderful site that will turn a great big long URL into a Tiny URL for you! It is at: http://tinyurl.com/You can then include the tinyURL in your post and it will still lead to the right site but it won't make the thread scroll horizontally.
Moderator Comment:
Even better is to use the similar, RootsChat-based solution - see Reply 14 below
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,111822.msg602906.html#msg602906
or direct: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,134417.0.html
or, using the above URL as an example, instead of just pasting in the url, write
You can use [url=http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,41541.msg168581.html#msg168581]JAP's idea[/url]
the URL itself won't show in the posting, instead, what you see is this:
You can use JAP's idea
You can also click on "Add BCC tags" above, bottom row, second from the left to get the [url][/url] tags
Hope either of these help,
Bob

Good Morning All,
Could someone please explain why it is necessary for us to scroll from side to side? It is extremely difficult to maintain one's train of thought whilst reading long distances across the screen.
Many thanks, Chris

Just a general thought on this subject:
I notice this wide-screen effect quite often but when I point it out to others, they say "Sorry, I hadn't noticed"
This does not mean they don't check their postings -- but it probably does mean they are using a desktop or tower computer with a screen width (resolution) of 1280 or even 1600 pixels.
Many of us use laptops, with a resolution of 1024 pixels, or on older machines, even 800 pixels, so whether images or long URLs, we do notice it !!

This simple idea may help:
Click on the RootsChat PRINT button, found on the top right of the first reply on each page.
It brings up a 'Print Preview' page that contains all the replies wrapping correctly.
The images aren't displayed, though.

SS, absolutely great!
I love tips that make life simple rather than complicate things more.

I'm presuming of course that you are simply referring to Rootschat.
