G'day Ric...
...it's all fine stuff if it's readable... what can be done about this side scrolling, it's making the site bloody impossible to read, for me and a few others. I am thinking the site has been set in too high a  resolution probably a four figure res, where it could well do with coming down to 600 800. That would sort it out... I imagine.
What do you reckon Ric...

What is the side scroll problem, I don't seem to have one of any consequence...feel a bit left out.

Croc,

I honestly can't tell you what the problem is here.  My resolution is set at 1024 x 768, but when I make it 800 x 600 I have no problem.  The navbar on the left column is set to 150px wide and the right hand column is set to 162px wide.  There is no setting on the main content column in the middle so it expands or contracts to the users resolution.

If there is a problem I do want to get it fixed mate.

Goodonya Ric...
that's the way forward...the site needs to be resolved at 600-800 to stop the side scroll, Man, you can only get one sixth of any page on screen at any one time, it takes six sweeps to read a page. If the resolution of the site was brought down, that would stop. That might sound easier than it is, I have no idea how the page is designed, but you are aware of the problem and my faith is in you to fix it... goodonya.

Ric,
     in case it helps...running 800/600 WIN-2K-PRO and correct monitor refresh rate...your site is spot on centered within one character Rt. overscan. A one eighth correction set the centring smack full scan centre.
      Where's the problem?

...I didn't know you could still get updates for W2k, lol, the refresh rate has nothing to do with it. The whole problem stems from the sites resolution. My opinion is that it is set too high. You are going to have a few folks who's monitors can, and will compensate, but for crying out loud, lets try and avoid the scenario where everyone is out of step except little charley, and sort it before it makes annoying veiwing...
 cheers chaps...

Ric,

Since the recent off air and return, I have to side scroll.  Has the format of the page changed?

Can you let me know if there is a very simple fix? It is very annoying.

rightclick on desktop, properties/settings/ screen resoulution,
........  less|----- <slide> -----|more
(adjust to suit!)

/ Apply ... keep settings? Yes/No ...

Cheers,

... and then Zondrae, you have to alter a hell of a lot more things to suit it.
