Not sure if this is related, but I have a problem with the first line of text in some posts.  It gets truncated.  Sometimes there is a vertical scroll bar, but often the post just ends when it reaches the RH side of the screen, and there is no horizontal scroll to read the rest.

What browser are you using and what is your screen resolution? Also, can you give me an example of a post that this happens to?

I'm using Netscape 7.02 with a screen resolution of 1024 x 768.  Here is a screenshot:

Well, I can't explain exactly why it is happening, but I believe it has something to do with Netscape. The forum is designed so that wider posts (posts with wide images or long website addresses, for example) will have their own scrollbars instead of distorting the width of the entire forum. It's a good idea... if it works properly.

All I can suggest is to upgrade to Netscape 8.0 to see if that helps. Or you could switch to Firefox (which is basically the same thing as Netscape anyway). I use Firefox and haven't encountered the same problem you've noticed.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help... :|
