Hi Todd,
First, thanks for what you are doing with the forum.
It is MUCH appreciated!
Small problem....
When I click on 'some' forums what I get is wider than
my display and I have to scroll side to side to read the
whole thing.
Doesn't happen with ALL forums, just some.
For instance, it just happened when I went to
"off topic/Natchez".
Happened occasionally with the old software too.
Thanks again!

George, it happens when pictures doesn't fit inside your display width. Your internet browser resize that specific message so that you can scroll to view the picture, but in the process the text is gets wider too.

This situation is a lot better than what we had with the previous software, when all the thread text gets wider if somebody posts a wide picture. With this new software, just that single message gets wider, all the remaining messages are kept in a confortable width for us to read.

The solution would be for senders to resize the pictures before posting, but that omits interesting picture details sometimes.

Conclusion: that's a matter of compromisse.
