  • too wide

    The page is too wide for my screen necessitating scrolling left and right. Is there a way to reset something so it fits? I'm severely techno-challenged and may need help.

    i agree with dframe. page width is too wide by about an inch and i must scroll to read the end of a sentance, a real pain in the rear. the pages need to be reformatted to fit the screen.

        page setup

        The page is formatted for wide screen monitors, that's why you have to scroll left to right. If you go to a higher resolution on your display settings you should be good.

          better to reformat the site to accomodate everyone. web designer forgot to account for scroll bar width.

            I will look into this. Are you using IE8? I am reading there may be a bug with it and some tags related to word wrap.

              Dframe, If you've got a scroll wheel on your mouse you can hold Ctrl button down and turn the scroll wheel and it will re-size the font/page to whatever you want.
              Where are we going and why am I in this hand-basket?

                Thanks a bunch. I just sized it right down. Fits the page perfectly now.
                IF a bit small

                  i'm using ie8 and ie7, same problem with both screens and browsers. the page width needs to be reduced by about an inch.

                      The width is locked to 1566 pixels wide due to the cumulative widths of the graphic images embedded in the table at the top of the page.

                      Since my resolution is 1280x1024 (very common, but not wide screen), I get the annoying effect of the page being too wide. One right solution would be to reorganize the graphic images so they take up less width (additional height is OK).

                      The webdesigner requiring the user to zoom out (Ctrl, scroll, as one user suggested) is poor practice. This not only annoys the user, but makes the text very small (I'll bet most people who can afford a Kahr are 40+ )

                      It would be nice if this could be resolved.

                        I agree, it's too wide. I run 1680x1050 and will fit if I maximize but normally don't run it that way. BTW, I run firefox, not IE. I hate horizontal scroll bars
