This website won’t fit on my Asus Transformer Mini with 1280×800 resolution combined with windows display setting changed to 125%.  Just an annoyance I often run into. Yes ,my eyes are old but you too may have this problem one day – if you’re lucky.

Have you tried changing the zoom level in the browser for the site? I have the opposite issue, where the site occupies a strip down the center, with large black bars on either side, so much of the screen is blank, while that which is displayed is too small to be read. In Firefox, at least, you can use Ctrl+scroll to zoom in and out, or you can use the UI controls. It allows it to be set independently on various sites, and recent versions also allow a default zoom to be set (170% on my 1920×1080 displays, which is ideal for this site and most others).

Sure, but it’s just a niggling problem that also exists on my desktop’s larger screen (also FF, Win10). My phone displays it just fine – go figure!  (Side note – my bank had the dreaded horizontal scrollbars for years)

It’s on the to-do list to freshen up the format/fix these issues about sizing. Don’t worry I’m not going to go all “facebook” and freak anyone out and in fact I’ll want a “expert committee” to vet changes. Stay tuned, more to come.

Yeah that width thing is not so great.

One other thing a Post should be top to bottom in my opinion. I go back to look at a reply and there are posts to posts to posts so have to go over whole thing to find post reply came in email. Unless there is a setting can change that sort top to bottom?

I used to use a free software years ago phpbb and went through migrating from a previous software to that.
