Full screen/Part screen

[ubeaut]

Ta Grunt - It fixed Firefox and stuffed up IE and as much as some of you like Firefox it is more important to cater to IE users for now.

Our browser stats currently show IE #1 with Firefox running a very, very distant second. Something like 950 IE users for every 50 Firefox then way down the track to Netscape with 4 users I remember when they used to be so close to IE that it was hard to separate them.

Thanks anyway Grunt, I'll keep trying, but not too hard .

Cheers - Neil

Bugger, it works in IE7.

I wouldn't try too hard either. It works fine in Firefox anyway.

Why would any want to work in computers?

Yes, you should make it the default behaviour for the site.

I get the same result on IE and Firefox.

However, on either system all posts by Matrix appear larger than the screen. Is this my computer or ????????

I thought default behaviour for this place was chaos

I think you'll find this is because of the size of the graphic that Matrix uses as his signature, although it now appears to fit within my screen, but it makes the left hand side part of the post narrower (where the posters' details and avatar appears). Maybe Neil has used some of them fancy scripts?

[pawnhead]

Yep. I don't see them. Neither at the top of my page, nor at the bottom..

Now that I think on it, that's thanks to using one of the Javascript permission plugins for FireFox and not FF itself. (I'm directing google's scripts to the bit-bucket.) Still, in my books it's makes for a major improvement... doesn't my screenshot look so much more neater? And as a bonus, there's less scrolling!

Yeh, I've seen that plug in. It removes most of the ads from webpages. Animated ads as well so pages load a lot faster using less bandwidth but sometimes it removes content as well. I haven't installed it because occasionally I might want to see what they're selling. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt Neils hip pocket if you clicked on the ads every now and then either. He's providing the site for free and he doesn't even have a donation button that I can find.

As for the spiel chequer, why DL another toolbar clutterer when FF has a decent plugin to do the same job? If only they wouldn't assume that we Aussies use an Americanised dictionary... (and yes, I did DL the Aussie dictionary to go with it! )

So did I but it still spells in seppo speak doesn't it. miter, meter, labor, etc. I just ignore those and spell proper queens English. It doesn't have a lot of woodwork related jargon either.

The only hassle is having to chase those "quote" and "post reply" buttons. They still work though, if you can catch them.

You can temporarily allow blocked sites or domains at the click of a button if you really want to see what's being blocked.

Believe me, I didn't install it just to get rid of the ads on this forum. That's just an unexpected bonus; it took me quite some time to notice their absence. But others use this 'puta and tend to go to sites that are prone to malicious scripts. That is why I installed it.

I ended up DLing the UK dictionary instead, and even that has some noticable bastardisations in it. I'd say the base was also compiled by Yanks...

Still, I've never been a forelock tugger and my own brand of English tends to send any halfway decent spell checker into overload. Thank Ghu they don't check grammar as well!
