Page layout on Firefox

[kayakamina]

In the light of the warning about Abank & Internet Explorer I thought I would download
Firefox as an alternative.

I have a problem in that the 'latest post' bar is covering the right hand side of the questions and I do not know of a way to either move the 'latestposts' to the right, or the body of the questions to the left.
Sorry my query is so badly phrased but I am a klutz with this technology.

Thanks for any advice.

Hold down CTRL and use the + and - keys to adjust the size until it fits ok.

[kayakamina]

Thank you.

Oh, you MUST use Firefox, K.

Internet Explorer is just bloatware (far too many superfluous features).

Hi JJ

I've been told that but was reluctant to change from something familiar.
The scare (?) about Abank / IE made me experiment.
I still have the problem of the overlapping text but I'll see if I can find a way of moving the centre text to the left.

And K ...

Firefox has all these jolly "add ons", so you can change how Firefox works, and what it does.

They are tiny files, so they don't muck up your system. And if you don't like them, you just click "uninstall" and they vanish.

It's sooooo much better than IE.

ps. Today's crossie, by Orlando ... I just couldn't get into it.

It is Agatha Christie's 120th birthday so the crossword had some clues relating to her
works.
I enjoyed the 'Cockney legends- treated to ample feasts' clue!

I think your getting the same as me

I have yet to find the answer!

[joggerjayne]

That's 11d, yes?

Okay, so I've got ...

17a. (CATHERINE)

20a. OUT OF THE ARK

27a. STRAINED

If those are correct, then, 11d is ...

(6,2,4) _ _ _ T _ _ , _ F , _ _ _ T

Is the middle word "OF" ?

I just can't get this one, K.

Alice I'm sorry you are having the problem but I'm a bit relieved that I'm not the only one.

Let's hope someone can advise us as I want to continue using Firefox if possible.

Good luck.

OK...

Can you firstly let us know what version of windows you are using...

I suspect you may be running your computer in a fairly low screen resolution which is mucking up the display in firefox, but how you check that varies depending on windows version.

[kayakamina]

Chuckfickens it is Windows 7 home premium.

[ChuckFickens]

If you right click anywhere on a blank part of your desktop and select "screen resolution" it will say what resolution you are running in at the moment.

Any thing below 1024 * 768 (or similar, depending if you have a wide screen display or not) is too low and you really need to raise it to a higher res..

if you have a LCD screen then it will have a native resolution which it works best at, this is normally the highest you are able to select.

(if you are trying different resolutions and the screen goes blank then just press escape to go back to last setting)

[kayakamina]

I have an Aspire Acer laptop and at present the resolution shows 1600 x 900.

It is all Greek to me and if you can help I'd really appreciate it.

Sorry to 'butt in' I'm also W7 Home Premium with a screen resolution of 1280x1024
