I have had problems from several users about the size of the forum. All of them use MACs with 9.x - I seem to recall there was a setting that forced the use of large fonts and one that allowed it to display what the page called for.

See Sam Riley's post below for information on how to change the default font in IE on the mac. That's generally the culprit if you are finding the forum too wide to fit your screen.

Otherwise, take a look at the next post for info on how to change your screen resolution. It should be at least 800 x 600 from browsing the net these days. Personally, I prefer 1024 x 760.

This forum is designed of at least 800 x 600 screen resolution, as are virtually all webpages today. I have had some reports from particularly Mac users, that the text is running off the side of the screen and requiring them to scroll to read.

If you are running a very low screen resolution, say on an old computer, you may need to increase the resolution. Here is an explanation of how to do that...

Mac users may have a setting enabled that forces the page to use larger fonts. I am investigating this issue and will have more information when I find it...

Would playing around with this help? It changes my fonts when I adjust it.
