I appologise if this is the wrong section for this but its driving me nuts.
I have a normal desk top pc with a normal 17in flat screen.If I go to any site other than this one the picture and the sizing is perfect as it should be. No problems. Why Oh why is it then that as soon as I come to this forum everything does not fit my window.It drives me nuts trying to change the size and veiw sizes to actually get a reasoanale size I can veiw with comfort. Even when I think I have got it right and I decide to reply to a post I have to resize everything again. Surely this is not right. Am I the only one this happens too ?? HELP ME PLEASE :)

:DWelcome to the forum, its always happening to me, dont know why, and dont know how to resolve it because I am crap with p.cs, I just go left and right to read it, having said that its ok at the moment. ;)

laffa. Thank you i dont feel so alone now.

Right click on a blank area of your screen, click properties, click the settings tab and check your screen resolution. Try setting it to 1024x768. You should be able to comfortably view any website with this screen setting.

:D Ah thanks Chewy, but i dont like to touch anything in case it goes off but that sounds ok, even for me, ;)
-
Also thanks Chewy.
But all that is doing (not that it worked ) is the same as what I have posted. You have to keep messing about with resizing and stuff which you should not have to do. I dont have to change my window size or text size to veiw anyother web sites,just this one. Again Why? :)

When you design a website, you specify a resolution. Most websites used to be designed for lower resolutions but as time goes by and most people have newer gear, the resolution gets upped. Most websites are designed in 800x600 to cater for the world-wide masses' monitor resolution but some are designed for optimum viewing on 1024x768. If your monitor resolution is 800x600 you will see scroll bars whenever you visit such a site.
If you set your screen resolution to 1024x768 you should be able to view all sites ok and you should not need to alter it back - once its done its done.
Or go out and buy a widescreen monitor like mine !!!!
Hope this makes sense !?

Thanks Chewy. Yes I do understand that.I have changed the resolution as you said and yes it does work. Obviously the writing e.t.c is smaller but it does all now fit the screen Just one problem though.Because I have changed the resolution when I go to a website the first initial screen does not fully fit the window unless I click the little box on the upper right.Its fine then.But when I come off and go back to windows and then go to another website once again I have that small opening window. Before I changed the resolution all the sites opened fully screen. Question is how do I get them to open fully screened as before? I know there is a way,something to do with going to a site and clicking on a link but I dont know how you actually get the window to stay fully screened.Any ideas ?
-
If you've got a mouse with a wheel on the top, hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and move the wheel on the mouse backwards and forwards. See if that helps with the screen and font size.

I have figured out how to get the screen back to full size and to stay full sized so thank you all for your help.
KayaKoyuOldBoy thats a neat little trick.It will come in very handy.Thanks.

Alternatively click control plus(+) or Minus(-) as appropriate to change the Screen/font size. :)

:) This is great , pc lessons on the CBF, what next. ;)
-
:) I agree laffa. Although I have had a PC for a few years I am not PC literate. In other words Im as thick as a plank when it comes to the internet and the workings of a computer in general.I have a mobile phone that can get me on the internet but I dont have a clue how you work it. I only want to make a bloody phone call :) So come on all you PC clever people on this forum show us some more tricks to make using our PC easier and more enjoyable,.We all want to learn so show us :)

OK sprinter,
Double-clicking on the blue bar at the top of an open window maximises the window (saves trying to line-up your pointer with the little box in the corner - handy if you have a touch pad rather than a mouse - or if you've had too many beers!!!)
Holding down "Alt" and "F4" together closes the current window in use - when they're all closed it acts like clicking "start" then "turn off computer" (handy if you're in a hurry or too lazy to click all the little X's !!!)
-
Thanks Chewy.These tips are great. :)
-

-
:P Right Chewy got all that except where is the blue bar, is that the one next to the red X. ;)

Find the box it came in, put it in it, take it back to the supplier, and tell them you want your money back. ( That's the clean version ) :D ;):D

Found this one I like.
When you open several windows. Instead of going to the top left back arrow to click it to go back or forward.Right click on a blank area of your screen and just click the back or forward word.I find it easier myself. :)
