    Computer question

     



    I was just wondering, hypothetical question. How much would it cost the members of a forum like this one to be rid of that left side margin?
    I always have to scroll across to see the whole page and if I size down to get it all on then it gets too small to read easily.
    I am on some member supported forums that don't have that.

    What is your screen resolution set to?
    Which browser are you using?

    Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

    I don't know of any way to do it in windows, unless you have external blocking software.. I use linux which has blocking software in it.. I did have to use it to block that huge banner at the top of the HR forums.

    It is on Firefox right now but is the same on IE
    I have no Idea what my screen resolution is. I can hold down ctrl. and spin the wheel to make it all fit but then it is too small to read very easy.

    Don't know what O/S you're running but in XP or earlier, just go to the control panel and then click on Display and then on Settings to see your screen resolution. I used 1680 x 1050 and I get everything without scrolling and the text is still easily read. If you use too low of a res, you will not be able to get everything on the screen at once. I recommend the highest res you can comfortably use.
