FB messages (and RootsChat thread info) not displaying properly
« on: Friday 15 June 18 23:04 BST (UK) »

For some reason, the middle column on my Facebook page no longer displays messages in full, and does not wrap the text. It looks as though the two outer columns have moved inwards, taking up the space that the middle column used to use.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Mike

And I now see that it's not just Facebook - this Rootschat page is also truncated.

Are you sure you are not in Reader View  ??

Go to View and see does it say Exit reader View   or not

If it does then select Exit

Try CTRL- to reduce size and ctrl+ to increase ?

Thanks Ray - I've tried that with no result.

Hallmark - what is Reader View? Is that a Facebook, Rootschat or Windows option?   I'm using Windows 8 if that helps.

Thanks both of you for your help.

Mike

Ray.

I was viewing in Internet Explorer. Switching to Firefox sorted it out straight away.

Many thanks

Mike
