Daisy I hope that I can explain the issue I am having. I have my computer screen settings permanently on 150% so I can comfortably read the text. With this new format the ratio of the page only occupies the middle third of the screen with not only most of the header image missing but many of the posts disappearing at the right of the screen. If I alter the screen ratio to a smaller setting I can get the new format to fit but the writing is so small I cannot read anything. Any suggestions. This has got me thinking I'm pretty sure that I can enlarge the size of the text on the board. The text in the posts is definitely smaller I will do some investigations I think the new text size is because the boards are now narrower.

Thank you for the response. Pleased that you have noticed the issue as well. You're welcome This is something that needs to be edited on each individual board theme (skin). Rather than go through every single theme, let me know which skin you are using and we'll take it from there

Just wondering if the time is going to be added at the head of the site. The old board had the time showing just above the newsbox, but I can't see that this new version has the same feature. Maybe it is a feature that will be added again at some point One great new feature is you no longer have to set your own time zone, that is automatically updated from your computers clock.

I wasn't sure if this was something that could be set by Admin. or if it was a Pro-Boards only item.

I think it is the white default skin (White Shirt and topless Gerard). If that is not still available on the new system Simply Gerry is suitable. Thank you again for your help.

Yes the 'default' is the four pics of Gerry - sunglasses, white shirts and topless I've enlarged the text, if you try the size at 125% is it ok?

No I have had to get the zoom ratio down to 75% to fit the page properly onto my screen which I simply cannot read. If I go back to 150% which is how my computer is permanently set then the header and the chat box only show half its content although the size of the text is readable.
It is as though the page needs to stretch horizontally by a third and am puzzled as the old system fit perfectly for me.

I have tried to add a Microsoft word attachment showing images of the issues I have been experiencing to you but not sure it is working as it would not load my page.

This is very bizarre Which browser are you using?

A while ago when we were on the old Pro-Board system I had problems inasmuch that the boxes in which I could write a comment and send in the newsbox were missing entirely. This went on for a long time when I used Firefox. I.E. was fine.
This puzzled me a lot and I did a lot of Googling to try to find the answer. Eventually I hit on this:
Firefox - How to Zoom In and Out: Click somewhere on the browser window. Press Cntrl and + or - as required.
This worked immediately and the text boxes became visible again. Why not give this a try? Other than that I'm afraid it would have me stumped too.

Thanks Mimsie The strangest thing is with this new version the main body of the board is narrower than the previous version. My set viewing size is 125% if I enlarge it the 'main body' stays the same size and central, it's just the text and images that enlarge. There is an answer and we will find it!
