This affects me too. 800 by 600 screen thing I presume.
When you post Wkid, I have to scroll sidways on all the posts on that page to read them, as your signature is so big.

Might be helpful to know what the majority of users use to view the site with.

I sometimes forget about people using smaller res :o since both my home and work pc are 1600x1200 and everyone else I know uses the same or higher.

I tried this, but it made the text so small it was too hard to read.

I hate large sigs as well. Its a pain in the arse having to scroll a whole page just to see a one line reply.

What I've done is turned them off in my preferences.  You can disable user signatures in User CP/Edit Options.

What?

1028 x 768 at work but lappy is just a wee tiny slow old thing, some threads I just don't bother trying to read on it.

Same here Mitch. HUGE resolution at work as I have a 21 inch Sony screen (lovely) but the lappy is a 166mhz I'm gamely trying to run XP on, and at 800x600 you have to scroll left and right.

Anyway, who cares about computer problems? Its a lovely day, traffic was courteous today - everyone pulled over to let the fizzer split through the traffic and my bike purred all the way to work...

Only 5.5 hours to go and I'm back on it :p

I'm using 1024x768 on 17" monitor at work and one at home, and using 1280x960 on another monitor at home that is 19". Size of monitor is the key otherwise words do get a bit small unless us old guys put our reading glasses on.

I've got twin 21" monitors, but like to keep my Browser window to a slightly discreet size. :o

Wkid's sig annoys me too, but I s'pose if we're that annoyed about it you can turn off viewing users signatures in your own profile setup.

1600 res here - mind you just bought new monitor which helps - and hence the lack of need to scroll - so I fixed it

1024 x 768 works fine - i use the scroll wheel or auto scroll down and read the posts as they're scrolling past, sometimes pix need a sideways scroll though. i'm running a 19" monitor

1280 * 1024 at work or 1024 x 768 at home, no scrolling sideways problems to be had on either.

Geez -- How did you get on in this morning's wind? I thought about bringing the Zrex to work this morning but reckoned that the wind would inflate the cover as I was unwrapping it and I'd end up somewhere in Island Bay! I heard on the radio it was gusting 160kmh and based on the way the tiles on our roof were moving, I believe every k of that...
:shit:

Wasn't as bad as it seemed. I thought about taking the car when I heard the wind and rain this morning, but when it came time to leave it wasn't actually raining anymore. Bit blustery round the back of Wilton though.

Oh baby, that wind was wicked!

Got to the top of Haywards this morning, doing maybe 110, and the wind knocked me down to about 75 in a second flat! My shoulders were pretty sore from pushing the bars to lean into the wind.

Not too much fun, but I guess I was more awake when I arrived at work today than I have been all week..

NZ Herald today... :sunny:

Auckland had 1345mm of rain, or 104 per cent of normal, compared with 1040mm in Wellington.

Auckland also recorded less sunshine (2042 hours) than Christchurch (2362 hours) and Wellington (2271 hours) but more than Dunedin (which had a record year for sunshine - 1971 hours).

Yeah right. The only reason Aucklanders took the tree off One Tree Hill is so you couldn't see in leaning inexorably towards the north east. While it may blow hard in Wellington at least it doesn't blow all the time...

no complaints, never have to scroll sideways or any other way to see messages, if you 800x600 diehards are having problems, change to a higher resolution and enlarge your icon size if everything seems too small. much better!!

Just hope that you don't have to give it back ('cos your team used a Hawkes Bay player without completing the paperwork)

The Auckland Rugby Union has said it isn't going to protest. It lost the Shield fair and square. I guess Waikato probably fancy their chances to lift it (again) this weekend? It's a shame the Bay of Plenty wasn't still in the second division, because if it was, that would make the Shield a second-division trophy for the foreseeable future (probably forever, now that the NZRU in its wisdom has done away with first/second division promotion relegation).
