Wiggy,

Hey I missed the Massage Box  :)  :) I've got one with messages instead.  :P

If you press on the arrow button I've highlighted in pink on the picture below, your messages (and massages) will look fine again. If you then do go in "portrait" mode again then they will tumble down again like your screenshot so that they fit.

All the best,
Trystan

Phew!!!  Thanks Trystan    - so easy - when you know!!

I must have hit something awry on the iPad - for some reason it changed stuff on the desktop too  -  anyhow things are now back to normal - thank goodness - so much wasted space!

Do hope I can remember that for next time it happens . . . or remember to come back to this thread to find the simple answer!   ;D ;D ;D

Not the same problem but .......

I had a problem with my printer (showing as being offline), I'd had the problem previously and solved it so I spent hours trawling through bookmarked websites, Rootschat help, all over the internet to find out how I'd done it. Finally something triggered how to resolve it so after I'd done so I wrote myself a document with the instructions as to how to fix it and saved that as 'Printer offline'. If I encounter the same problem again I'll be able to go straight to the solution.

You might find it helpful to write a similar document with specific instructions. I'd bookmark this thread anyway, it's not easy looking through all your own posts to find the relevant one!  :)

Good idea Roobarb!

 - I have a book called 'How to Drive the Computer' and that's where I take notes of what I need to do if things go wrong, or if I want to do something which isn't an everyday activity!    ;D  And yes I use it frequently, though not as often as I used to!     ;D
