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 too, only have the problem with this site. Maybe Scott will come to our rescue & fix this .

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!

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
