Re this Web site:

This is my 1st post here.

I’d been “lurking” for a few weeks then finally took the plunge and registered. From the start the pages always struck me as being rather too “busy”, especially when compared to other similar sites, but what the heck, it’s not my site and I guess all the cr@p down both sides helps the site owner to make money (or at least he/she/they thinks it does). But now, as of today, Tuesday Feb 9th, the posts I’d been following on boring have become unreadable – all the “garbage” on the RH column is blocking not just 1 word but several, making the whole chain of posts on the 2nd page unreadable. This is a new and VERY unwelcome development!

I’ve tried resetting my own PC in several display areas such as zoom, text size, and resolution but nothing helps. Also I’m not having this problem with other sites, AND it was not happening yesterday when I started reading the posts on boring. So I’m fairly sure this is a problem with the site and not at my end (and the post from Circlip seems to confirm this). Can someone fix this asap please.

(Post copied to the web site problems link axs well).

Hi and welcome

what happens is someone makes a post with a long link to somewhere in it and that link makes the whole thing stretch out across the page.

David ( the moderator) usually edits these links but he must have missed one.

I think there should be a sticky post at the top of the page telling people how to change their links to a single word, it’s easy enough to do.

just my two pence

cheers
