Now we are sent an email that tells us all about the hard work that Plusnet are doing to add a new anti spam solution. It includes a link to http://community.plus.net/comms/2007/07/17/using-the-manage-my-mail-tool/
Of course this useless forum format makes this page unreadable, actually it is so stupid it is almost funny. It says
"Once you are logged in click the link to Email Settings and you will see a screen similar to this:-"
and then display a screen shot that is 2 inches wide!
I may be getting old and soon I may need reading glasses but no amount of correction will allow me to see a screen in a 2inch wide image.
I have a 24 inch Dell LCD, most websites expand up to fit the screen and are a delight to use but not these damn forums. What is worse is that if you take the default simple machines format e.g. http://www.simplemachines.org/community/ it sizes up perfectly to fit my screen.
So what is it? Are Plusnet not technically capable or do they not care?
I am sure they will come up with some "technical reason" that prevents this from being corrected rather than just sorting it.
I hope I am wrong.
Note to moderators: Please do NOT merge this with another message in an attempt to bury it as was done before.

As far as I understand things, we will be fixing the width issues that you refer to.
Also, if you click on the screenshots, they do expend, which may help to an extent.

Quote from: Zap I raised a topic on here some time ago about how DAFT it is that this SIMPLE MACHINES forum has been configured to used LESS THAN HALF the screen width. NOTHING was done as usual and as it makes the site unusable I tend not to bother coming on here. (objective achieved?)
Sorry that you feel aggrieved that PN didn't rush out and change the size to suit you though.
There are lots of helpful bits of advice about getting your machine to do as you want about the place.
I don't blame Radio1 if the volume is too low on my stereo.....

And yes, you can click on the 2" wide image and it will give you an expanded view

Download the file here (right-click, save as)
Copy it to:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\profilename\chrome
(That's in XP, Vista's slightly different)
Restart Firefox and that should do the trick.

We're still working through issues with it, so we don't even know yet when the new design is coming on line.

I've added some text to help clarify matters.
With regards the redesign of the Community Site stylesheets, we are aware that it's taking a bit longer than we'd hoped but our designers have it by the scruff of the neck and I'm hoping to have some news shortly regarding an expected release date.

Quote from: Oldjim just had a look at the beta version and the default font size appears to have reduced - not a good idea
Hi Jim, we've just increased the font size by a point. See what you think. Any more than that and it starts to lose a lot of its good looks.

Quote from: jelv It's the font size in the forums that I think is still too small. E.g. http://community.beta.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,1918.0.html
Yes, Colin had spotted that. The guys are looking into that.
