kea ~ Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small, unregarded but very well read blue and white website

Thanks Smudger, I've been meaning to sort this out as Terri has the same problem I think.

What would be helpful is if you could tell me the browser and version that you are using, and operating system and version.

Also, can you say how much too wide the page is eg is it twice as wide as your screen?

And if you have another browser, can you tell me if the page does the same thing in that (and what browser and version it is).

Glad you llked the new page otherwise smiley - smiley

smiley - cheers

Abbi is that something recent or has it always been like that since I started making changes to the page?

Also if either of you want to have a look at the h2 front page and see how it looks, as Terri said sometimes it looks wide to her too.

When I go to the front page I can get all of the body and one margin in. On our page - I cannot get the middle section(body) in without moving it.

I do not think it has always been this wide but I cannot pinpoint when it changedsmiley - erm

The browser is the programme that you use to access webpages, in this case Internet Explorer.

I'm using IE too, but with no problems. I'm using a Mac version which may make a difference. When I use Netscape the DMN page is way too wide.

Will investigate.

Ok, how is that looking now? Traveller in Time gave me a tip on what to do.

Abbi the text font default will affect the page width. I tend to have my fonts biggish (set at 18 in I.E.), so I am hoping that if it works for my browsers everyone else's should be ok. But let me know if it's not as I can make the page narrower still probably.

Hmm, I;m not sure Smudger - I'm on Mac and it works kinda differently.
