My Computer Screen Is Too Small

O.k.

I know I have a lot of incredibly useful ideas to add to this site :rolleyes:

And I love reading the very useful and enlightening thoughts posted by others. B)

Too bad I can't do that easily anymore. My computer screen has shrunk or something.

I don't know what the heck happened. Now, when I log on, I have to scroll back and forth

across the page to read a post. It doesn't just show me the whole post in front of me.

Now, I'm a fairly lazy person. And it's a pain in the butt having to move the page back and forth (plus

it kind of gives me a headache).

So, I need computer guidance. Why are the posts so big, or is my screen too small? How do I get it back

to normal? :huh:

There are now ads on both sides of the posts, but on my monitor I can put the posts in the middle by sliding the scroll bar along the bottom so I don't see any ads - only posts. (Sorry, Scott <_< )

My monitor display is set at 1024 by 768. If you don't know what yours is, right click on a blank area of your desk top (I have Windows xp - other systems may vary) and when the box pops up, click on Properties and then the settings tab. There should be a sliding arrow that goes between Less and More. Play around with it until you like what you get. It will ask you to save settings, and the screen may go dark for a moment which is kinda freaky but doesn't hurt anything.

Another possibility is your View text size may have been tweaked. At the very top of your screen, click on View and then Test Size. You can make the print smaller or bigger. If you have a mouse that scrolls, and you were scrolling with your finger on the Control Key, that may explain everything! :rolleyes:

imsohungry--I don't think it is your monitor or mine. I am having the same problem with this forum. It just started a few days ago. It can't be my monitor, because it isn't happening in any of my other forums, only this one. I think something has been twinked in here. I know it was mentioned that Scott has been making some changes, so it very well may be, this is one of them. I too, have been aggravated that the posts are all too big for the page.

This same problem was mentioned before by others. It IS a giant pain in the patootie. I thought I would get used to it, but I still don't like it.....too much work moving around for every line. I find that I give up before I read all of the current posts. Wish the old size settings would get restored. I tried changing my own screen resolution....didn't do anything for me.

I have to slide mine over an inch or 2, in order to read the last couple or words on each line but only one time not repeatedly and it wasn't like that before.

Yep, same issue for me too. It's been like this several weeks I think. The screen resolution doesn't fix it, but a high enough setting let's you position the posts in the middle as was mentioned.

It is an easy thing to fix though, no matter that ads are on both sides. That has been the case even before this problem started, so it isn't the cause. If Scott can change the width of the posts, that will fix it. The posts simply wrap around within the space provided.

On my work PC, which is set to 1280x1024 with dual monitors, I can see the whole page just fine. On my 1024x768 single monitor at home, I just slide the page over so I can't see the ads on either side but can see the post in the middle. I guess that just means more time at work and less on my own time. :lol:

Me too! I don't actually mind that I can't see the adverts :lol: as unfortunately I can't eat most of the food that is advertised and seeing it just makes me even more depressed, but I do get annoyed at having to keep sliding the bar along every time I want to read a post.

If the idea is that we can see the adverts when we are reading the posts, then if Scott has changed the sizings, he's shot himself in the foot!

      Oh, okay. The lower case "b" in boots in your first post didn't lead me in the direction of a proper name. I thought maybe it was a specialty apothecary for people with pedal diseases or something.

      50 YO Male Recently Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! There are other things that may cause elevated tTg-IgA levels, but in general a reaction to gluten is the culprit:

      Hi @trents Just seen this - Boot's is a chain of pharmacies in the UK, originally founded in the 19th Century by a chap with the surname, Boot.  It's a household name here in the UK and if you say you are going to Boot's everyone knows you are off to the pharmacist! Cristiana

      I am looking to find a Celiac Dietician who is affiliated with the Celiac Disease Foundation who I can set up an appointment with.  Can you possibly give some guidance on this?  Thank you!

      Nacina, Knitty Kitty has given you good advice. But I would say/add find a Fat Soluble B-1 like Benfotiamine for best results.  The kind found in most Multivitamins have a very low absorption rate. This article shows how taking a Fat Soluble B-1 can effectively help absorption by 6x to7x times. https://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/thiamine-deficiency-and-diabetic-polyneuropathy quoting from the article.... "The group ingesting benfotiamine had maximum plasma thiamine levels that were 6.7 times higher than the group ingesting thiamine mononitrate.32" Also, frequency is much more important than amount when it comes to B-Vitamin. These are best taken with meals because they provide the fat for better absorption. You will know your B-Vitamin is working properly when your urine becomes bright yellow all the time. This may take two or three months to achieve this.......maybe even longer depending on how low he/you are. The Yellow color is from excess Riboflavin bypassing the Kidneys....... Don't stop them until when 2x a day with meals they start producing a bright yellow urine with in 2 or 3 hours after the ingesting the B-Complex...... You will be able to see the color of your urine change as the hours go by and bounce back up after you take them in the evening. When this happens quickly......you are now bypassing all the Riboflavin that is in the supplement. The body won't absorb more than it needs! This can be taken as a "proxy" for your other B-Vitamin levels (if taken a B-Complex) ...... at least at a quick and dirty level......this will only be so for the B-1 Thiamine levels if you are taking the Fat Soluble forms with the Magnesium as Knitty Kitty mentioned. Magnesium is a Co-Factor is a Co-factor for both Thiamine and Vitamin D and your sons levels won't improve unless he also takes Magnesium with his Thiamine and B-Complex. You will notice his energy levels really pick up.  His sleeping will improve and his muscle cramps will get better from the Magnesium! Here is nice blog post that can help you Thiamine and it's many benefits. I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice God speed on your son's continued journey I used to be him. There is hope! 2 Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included. Posterboy by the grace of God,
