your not going to beleive this..but i'm broke

Not doing the Aussie haka (slapping all the mt pockets) are you #1

hey kiwi...i caught it off too many mates err aquaintances your way that had short arms and deep pockets....

Hi David,

My laptop runs 1680x1050 (Dell 6400 15.4in) and there is 6cm of unused space either side of the website graphics. The same goes for the two websites you suggested above.
1024x768 is what my old laptop used to run (HP 14.1in). It would be 3 years old this month. so I changed back to that resolution momentarily and it looked awful. However it did appear to fill the screen.

Having the site change itself to suit the users screen would be a great change. Of all the computers we have at work and home only two run 1024x768 (eight computers).

eh? i dont have to scroll...check your settings of the screen...and i didnt nor have or and didnot have to alter anything or change anything...looks fine and is great just the way it is....hahahaha

Heinz,

You need a minimum horizontal screen resolution of 1024 pixels. I just dropped mine back to 800 x 600 tocheck and then you will have to scroll sideways.

Still I like the new format and haven't used a screen resolution that low for years. My current monitor is a 17" CRT that I picked up at a second hand computer shop in North Adelaide for $45

Cheers

Pete

Heinz,

Sorry you are having problems, as others have stated you must be using an 800x600 screen resolution. We have decided to increase our base size standard as well over 98% of browser sessions are using this level of resolution and of the ones that are not we are sure the computer is capable to displaying the result.

I am working to see if I can adopt a method to change the width based on your computer selection (as this is relevant to PDA, WAP and mobile phone users) however we needed to get the new builds released to gauge perception. At this stage we have 2 people who have reported this issue and one of these has since changed the display properties on their computer and the issue went away, in fact they are really happy as they have now seen a load of things that they used to miss in the right hand margin.

As a test can you please try www.ninemsn.com.au or www.yahoo.com and let me know if these show you scroll bars or not. Also can you just confirm for me the display settings on your computer? (Use control panel - display and select the settings tab and tell me what it says under resolution and weather you can increase it to 1024x768) - If the computer is less than 5 years old you should have not problems in making this setting. Anyway let me know and we will see what we can do to help.

mmm apart from typing errors, maybe the boss should use his spell checker

change weather to whether

Hey Member No 1 spell checker would not pick up "weather or whether" as they are both in the checkers dictionary

Cheers

you smart ass, you were not supposed to know that.....keeping me honest eh?

lol lol

David,

I can change the screen resolution to 1024x768 but it is of absolutely no use to me as it makes the text way to small for me to be able to read properly.

And because I'm to lazy to scroll sideways unless I want to read a tread I for one am not going to see the ads on the right side of the page, To me that is potentual revenue you could miss out on.

Just my thoughts
Regards
John

japmel...my system is some 7 yrs old running XP and i dont have any problems...? didnt have to change a thing to suit the new format.

Thats good Member No 1, But I do have to change the resolution and when I do the text is way to small to comfortably read.

Regards
John

I had the same problem havin to scroll across when I went on and just closed my favorites column and can see the whole screen with no problem.

Yes a pain in the ar*s

All the best
Eric

not sure ..but if you change resolution dont you have to change DPI in advanced tab and font size in appearance as well to compensate?

Correct Number 1, Eric you can adjust the font DPI settings in Advanced. It would default to 96DPI change it to say 110 or 125DPI and the icons and fonts will get a little larger. I would also suspect that you are looking at a 15" screen - It may be time to look at a larger 17 or 19" screen as I can tell you that most of the Internet is moving to 1024x768 as the minimum standard. You only need to look at the large media companies they have all made the changes.

I am working to see if I can detect the resolution and adjust the site to suit however this may take a few days and may not yield a perfect result.

lol lol....nothin wrong with at all

about time you did some honest work

David now that I have had to change my resolution so I can fit it all on the page I cant read the words on any page that is a pain in the ar*e.
Will you be supplying explore oz reading glasses so I can read the screen now or do I just have to change the resolution Evey time I visit explore oZ

All the best
Eric

"Your browser does not support the site menu Click Here to load alternative navigation."

Doesn't seem to like IE6 either...doesn't even load search menu.

pls send screen grabs to David via EMAIL for genuine fix resolutions to browser incompatibility issues. More than happy to get any feedback of this nature - if you already are running the minimum resolution of 1024 width.

let em sort themselves out...there is nothing wrong with it so des says

Rick,

Have a read of this thread. It has something to do with resolution size.

However I would wait for a while. The page might come back to it's normal size over the next couple of days.

I am not a PC guru and a lot of what they say about computer stuff goes straight over my head. Maybe that is why I am losing so much of it.I am lucky that I have a 13 year old who knows everything about computers.
