Rare Lois R Posted March 7, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Did anyone else notice this? Or is it just my computer? Did the threads get narrower? Does the screen seem smaller? Or is it JUST ME?:eek: :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechKnowBabble Posted March 7, 2006 #3 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I agree mine looks less wide as well.....if only *I* could look less wide!!! *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted March 7, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I wonder if it temporary. Besides being more narrow, you can't see all the threads.... Anyone else having this problem? It is like they shortened the page:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signman Posted March 7, 2006 #5 Share Posted March 7, 2006 The new format which appeared earlier today seems to include lots of ads down the right margin. That's the cost of running the site I guess. On the plus side, at least the pages seem to be loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmk Posted March 7, 2006 #6 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Yes, Lois..same thing on my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLee Posted March 7, 2006 #7 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I'm finding the pages seem to be loading slower too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted March 7, 2006 Author #8 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hi Howard:) ok that is it.....their are tons of ads on the right hand side. That is about 2 full inches of page. Yep, I guess that is the price of having a free site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodPat Posted March 8, 2006 #9 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Lois, It is the same on my computer but whatever is installed on my computer takes out all the ads. I don't see any thing but white on the right side of the page. Glad to know it is not just my computer messing up. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdawson Posted March 8, 2006 #10 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Lois, I never even noticed until I started seeing posts about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted March 8, 2006 Author #11 Share Posted March 8, 2006 hdawson, sorry:eek: I came home from work and it was just looking funky to me......figured this would be the best place to ask about it. Maybe Walt will see this...or Anne, or Laura and let us know if this is the "new normal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessemon Posted March 8, 2006 #12 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Didn't notice screen size but, I have not been able to pull up any thread or post under my name (jessemon) since the latest update they did weeks ago. Can't get them either under Quick Links. WEIRD. :mad: Can't seem to get help from CC on this point !!!!!!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get them either under Quick Links. WEIRD. :mad: Can't seem to get help from CC on this point !!!!!!:eek: Just noticed...they have put ads at the side of the threads. Look to the right on the screen...they were not there yesterday.:eek: The boards are still great and "They" need to make more money. Maybe if they do they can speed this system back up again. It just sucks every time "They" do something new it slows everything down or in some cases boggles things up...:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mctrekkie Posted March 8, 2006 #14 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Format has changed....and hope it changes back! I really prefer the wide screen version, easier to read. No ads on my screen. My posts seem to be there, still....seems pretty od that some people are having troubles, others aren't. Hope it gets fixed sooner than later.

C 2 C Posted March 8, 2006 #15 Share Posted March 8, 2006 On every internet site I visited while on the Mexican Riviera, I had to use the scroll bar to read the whole screen. Now everything is visible at one glance. I don't think it's tunnel vision.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have as few as 5 posts per page and as many as 40, which has been the case for as long as I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mctrekkie Posted March 8, 2006 #19 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I just changed Options in User CP and that solved the problem. Looks like the Default setting has been changed. Is it me, or is the board rreeaallllly slow today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host Anne Posted March 8, 2006 #21 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Lois ~ you're right...there have been some format changes. Speed of the board today has been fine for me. It was slow last night but tonight's been fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was slow last night but tonight's been fine. Host Anne, Not for nothing but...my speed at the moment seems slower and from what I am seeing so far on this thread I am not the only one. It seems to be taking more time to load in the extra "ads" that were not in the right column before.

Rare Host Anne Posted March 8, 2006 #24 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi Jeff (just up the road) ~ I honestly haven't had a speed problem tonight but I have already dropped Laura an email so she is aware that others have mentioned the boards being slow.

MSBYRDY Posted March 8, 2006 #25 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Narrower for sure, but no ads and no speed problems today. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
