Default Need help with site page setup

I'm at a different computer this week and when I log into the Forum, the page is showing only a small portion of the page, like it's zoomed into an enlarged page. What I mean is, I have to scroll both sideways and up and down in order to see a single page. I've looked at all the page setup info and nothing I do resets it to normal viewing. HELP!

What screen resolution is the different computer using? Can you reset it to something on the order of 1280 X 768?

If there is no attachment or remote picture inside a post/thread that is blowing the margins (which if that is the case, you have some options in the UserCP), then it's probably because the screen resolution on your current pc is set lower than your other machine. I think anything under, and including, 1024 resolution, will cause the left-right scrolling that you describe. There was a change, a few months ago, that caused this on those lower screen resolutions to accommodate a banner.

You could make sure that you don't have the text in some sort of "zoom" mode, which depends on the browser and version you're using.

That's what it was. I went to "VIEW" and reset the Zoom mode and everything went back to normal.
Thanks very much
