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!

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Insomnia help

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
