Do I have my settings wrong? narrow and dark!

[Tim Smith]

Is there some settings I can change to make the Dart forum visible? It only uses 50% of my screen width and is way too dark! Or am I a spoiled rotten brat for asking?

Thanks!

Probably the latter part of your post...lol

Depending on whith browser you're using, you could Click on the setting right above your clock> It comes up at 100% normally. I'll usually make it 125%. As far as the being too Dark. might mess with your screen tent settings.

Thats the best I can do ya for though.

What size is your monitor?
What are your current resolution settings?
What browser are you running?

Take the sun glasses off, or quit blowing on the screen :D :D :D

Well, I have a fairly new Dell Latitude 5500, and this thing has a 13" wide screen. Not that diagonal crap, but you stick a 12" ruler up to it going horizontal and there's an inch of screen it doesn't cross. And the part that the Dart Forum occupies is only 6 5/8" of that 13. There's over 3" of worthless dark gray to both sides. The font is tiny. And this is the only forum I have this problem on, so I'm not messing with any settings on my computer. I click on the selection boxes up above the response dialogue box for Fonts, on the drop down list it is an empty sob. And just as empty on Sizes.

As far as the browser, it's whatever version of IE this thing has decided to download.....8.0.6001 and some more meaningless digits. Used to be 7.xxx and then it woke up one day in a different mood and got itself a bunch of new crap.

Everything on ANY other website I visit occupies my entire screen, nope wait that vette site Carl likes to link to is almost as bad as this place. So it's not my machine. Chevelles and camaros both use my entire screen, nice visible text, nice white background. This joint is dark and small, makes it like a friggin dungeon. A dungeon for small talk lmao. There's ya some smoke blowin Jaker:D

hold down on the ctrl button and hit the + until you can see it, you can shrink the page with the - doing the same thing. HOW bout that for the older guys Don?

hell yeah, keyboard shortcuts, that's what I'm talking about. I started getting into them over in Malaysia on a pipeline loop project in 1998. There was an Indian dude from India with fingernails about 4" long that knew every stinking one of them. Dude almost never had to touch his mouse. You could hear him haul-azz clickin away all across that office. Roger was his name and he was cool. About half of the Indian dudes on that project had English first names. And some w/ English surnames too. There was a Paul Lobo(PR dude), and a Ben Abraham(engineer). I couldn't do Roger's last name to save my life though. :D He also taught me that that Ruby in their ladies foreheads is called a "bindu" and it means she is taken. So when you see a hot hindu w/ a bindu it's a sin to hint to............

LOL...I'm old enough to have been brought up in the old dos days. But I never took the time to learn all the "hot key" strokes. But when I need them they are handy to know.

Thanks Bill ;)

I get all that stuff from my son who is a major pain in the _ss but is very good at it. I can not even open my mouth to try to tell him something about the web and all its electrical strokes and mysterious bull____! Where my pen and paper. Let the electricity go off and see what happens. They will all go crazy!

See that's what the Dart board is good for... tips on romancing hot Indian women.

Anyway, I'm glad your issue with viewing the site is sorted out.
