Why are some postings real W I D E & some are normal width. The W I D E ones go W A Y off the screen? When a person clicks on a name & then goes back to the original posting, it't comes back normal for a split second then goes V E R Y--W I D E! Someone posted a message similar to the words of trying to do a certain thing (can't remember just how it was worded, but I remember reading it! Sometimes the scroll bar goes only half-way across the bottom. They said in general to try to do something a little different. Something about getting being a nuicence? having to scroll back & forth to read something. I don't remember who posted it, just remember reading it. Now I run across the same thing so I can share that persons grievence. I'll check back later on the past postings. Also some are real small in width, those are less of a nuicence.

Sir AUSTIN . . . . . (E r r r r r r r) . . . . . RAYMOND:



Thats a hard question to evaluate without fully knowing your computer and its programs installed and the Browser

being utilized, along with any composing/typing nuances of yourself.


In your inial text of the posting above, it possibly looks as if you might be typing directly into the "REPLY TO POSTING"

dialogue box..


In that simplified procedure, you would need to be continually mentally aware of your textual composing in order

to insert a proper ENTER/(Carriage return) at sentence ends or double ENTERS to get a separate line spacing for

initiating a new paragraph.


A more desirable procedure is to use either WORD PAD or its more simplistic NOTE PAD, in your computers word processing

capabilities, to compose your postings text with, and then HIGHLIGHT your total text and Cut 'n Paste it into the

"REPLY TO POSTING". dialogue box.




E.G. . . . . here is YOUR prior posting as it was initially seen:


Why are some postings real W I D E & some are normal width. The W I D E ones go W A Y off the screen? When a person clicks on a name & then goes back to the original posting, it't comes back normal for a split second then goes V E R Y--W I D E! Someone posted a message similar to the words of trying to do a certain thing (can't remember just how it was worded, but I remember reading it! Sometimes the scroll bar goes only half-way across the bottom. They said in general to try to do something a little different. Something about getting being a nuicence? having to scroll back & forth to read something. I don't remember who posted it, just remember reading it. Now I run across the same thing so I can share that persons grievence. I'll check back later on the past postings. Also some are real small in width, those are less of a nuicence


(BTW . . . the all jammed together textual composure above, reminds me of a critique /castigation that I received from a 3rd grade teacher, for a theme which I had created, by using the four l o o o o o o n g e s t "run on" sentences that she had EVER seen, in all of her 40 year tenure.)



It is now being recomposed as:


Why are some postings real W I D E & some are normal width. The W I D E ones go W A Y off the screen?


When a person clicks on a name & then goes back to the original posting, it't(sic) comes back normal for a

split second(comma) then goes V E R Y--W I D E!


Someone posted a message similar to the words of trying to do a certain thing (can't remember just how

it was worded, but I remember reading it!


Sometimes the scroll bar goes only half-way across the bottom.


They said in general(comma) to try to do something a little different.


Something about getting being a nuicence(sic)? having to scroll back & forth to read something.


I don't remember who posted it, just remember reading it.


Now I run across the same thing(comma) so I can share that persons grievence(sic).


I'll check back later on the past postings. Also some are real small in width, those are less of a nuicence(sic).




ON your INITIAL text . . . . .





Note that the total right index margin is established by your computers/monitor screen width factors and then any

entered text automatically folds back from that prescribed limit.



While on the recomposed text being demonstrated just above, the ENTER function had either activated the line

returns or generated a space between the lines



"Sometimes the scroll bar goes only half-way across the bottom."


Is indicating that the TOTAL width of the line margin limits is being larger, somehere UP or DOWN the whole page,

and that you are now being at an intermediary position.


All in all . . . its probably best to compose a post afar . . . . by using a word processing program . . . and minimally with

Word Pad or Word Perfect, such that you can also utilize its spell check feature.


OR you could cut and past your composed post into the "REPLY TO POSTING" DIALOGUE box, where spell check is

automatically initiated and you will then see any errors being RED underlined .


Did this help any ?


BTW I generally post in full HTML mode, such that I can utilze colors, BOLDING and different fonts PLUS

accommodating the array of schematics which I post, and I typically opt to make them LARGE, so they are even easy

for Mr Magoo to read. . . . .mumble . . . . mumble . . . .(" Ehhh what say there Waldo ?")


Had I posted a schematic on the same page as my preliminary relevant text . . . . . you would then KNOW what a wide

posting REALLY is.


I opt to place them separately, just below my boxed in initial post.

The next time when I go to the ATM, and just after the money comes out, I'm going to jump up and down,

flail my arms about wildly and then shout out for all to hear
"I won!" "I won again!" . . . " its the 3rd time this week ! "

: It's not my postings that are going wide, it's others. Mine all look OK. The postings were from way back in 2010 & on before I even used this web site. Just trying to figure what they did so I won't make the same mistake. I don't want to make this site a bad place. Some have made it into a war & that's not what this site is about. This site is supposed to be a learning place about electronics, not to be a world war (3). There are a lot of things that I don't understand since I started using this site, & that's another reason I love this site because I can get an electronic education without going to school. Also there are some words I am not sure of the correct spelling. That shouldn't be a major issue because anybody that reads these postings should be able to read between the lines. I've never heard anyone complain yet about people's spellings. When I see a misspelled word I just overlook it because we ALL make mistakes! "There is none righteous, no not one." Quote from the GOOD BOOK. Also some words that are spelled correctly are also underlined, so I am not sure which is which. The words come out in red underlined,right or wrong. Example: PHILCO comes out red & that is the correct spelling, pesty is another example-etc. I feel that there are some words that are NOT accepted in computer language & that is NOT our fault. Peace be with you & thanks for the reply!!
