For the last two days, when I open this site it spreads out all over my screen. It has grown to be twice as wide as normally it has been in the past, and at least twice as long. You now have to scroll over to the right and then down to enter any of the forums.
Who was messing around with the first page?
It's like someone placed a over size picture on the screen and the site expanded to make room of all of it.
any explinations?

I can honestly say I have no idea what that could be. Works fine for me and you're the only 2 to mention it.
What browser/operating system are you guys using?

Hi there Bobby, the machine I'm using now is a new iMac with a default browser of Internet Explorer. I though that may have been the problem as sometimes in the past it has acted up. So I went to Safari and got the same results.
I have no idea what it is as everything was going fine, and then the next day this has taken place. Don't figure!

Got to thinking of the cookies that are placed on the machine, so deleted all the cookies and then logged back on to the site. NO luck, the opening screen is still shifted to the far right side of my screen and must be shifted over to use.

I've noticed that also Bobby. It's been recently. I have a 19 inch screen and now I have to scroll all of the way across. Hmmmmmm I use Firefox/Mozilla and have for quite some time.

Im wondering if it is from a picture we opened, and maybe it changed our settings? I will try to reboot my PC when I get home and see if it puts it back to normal. My screen at work is fine.

I took Tpatna's idea and rebooted my system. Results are 'no difference'. Still expanded screen.
Just a suggestion to look into:
On other occasions when someone posts a extra large picture or string of characters that will not break and allow it to fill a smaller space, the thread has expanded like this one did. I"m wondering IF someone placed a photo or data on the page and this was the results. It would have been about the time of 19th to the 21st. As I remember it happening.

I sometimes see a larger screen on opening but the forum defaults have always resized the screen to be right after opening.

I use Mozilla/Firefox also and it has not changed on me since I have been coming here.
Perhaps your computer resolution got changed somehow. I do not know where to check that on a Mac though.

I run IE6 and have no problems
I do not know whether it is relevant but my autoresising is on
I was told on a chartforum if I turn this off a thumnail will expand into a huge size ( which is what you want if you look at a chart )
Autoresising is under internet options

I have checked all the settings that you have mentioned, and it still hasn't corrected the problem.
The initial opening frame is the only time the screen is expanded, and the rest of the time the forum is responding exactly as it has been all along. Only the opening frame is oversize, and from that time on everything is O.K.
this is what makes me believe something was added to this page a couple of days ago that makes it do this.

OK, I have a hunch.
Those of you this is happening to, please get me the exact URL of the offending page.
Please cut and paste it in a post here.
