I figure there's an easy solution but since I'm computer illiterate I need your help. Ever since the new format I have to scroll to the right to read each and every sentence. It's a pain in the neck but I do it because I enjoy the forum so much.

Thanks for your help

Almost sounds like the page isn't rendering (loading) fully on your machine. This would be the first time I've heard of this as an issue.

Doug, I often find my text going off the edge... but for everything, not just Nomad. How do we reset the computer so that the size of the window or text stays inside the monitor? I tried adjusting the monitor's horizontal image controls... that doesn't change the text area inside the window, however.
Thanks

Rt. Clk on Desktop>>>Properties>>>Settings>>>slide screen area slider to "more screen area(pixels)"...

This will make your text smaller, however.

In IE select View>>>Text Size>>>Largest...

or in Firefox cntl + +/- to make bigger/smaller.

Doug,
I reset the pixel count to the maximum as suggested by someone but the problem persists. Incidently this only occurs on the Nomad forum.
FYI I'm using Win '95 on a 10 yr old PC. Don't waste a lot of effort on this as it seems I may be the only one affected and I can live with it as I enjoy your site so much.

thanks,
bajaloco

I was having a the same problem about the time that this site up-dated. I was also up-dating my computer at Microsoft's site. I up-dated both xp and office which included explorer. Everything works great now. Try to up-date your system and see what happens....

Yikes!

I really can't be sure, and don't have any Win95 units to test with. Are you able to create a screen capture of what you're experiencing?
