Does Anyone Else Have This Problem?

9 years ago

When I enter this the forum and scroll down to the first post, it is located on the right side of the page and I can't read the complete lines; some of the words are actually off the screen. After I hit the gray area which has the outline of two figures, the whole page shifts to the left and I can read everything. Also the side bar with "related subjects" comes into view. I hope you'll all know what I'm talking about and that I'm not the only one who is seeing the page this way.

That's a new one on me, Ingrid. I hope some can come up with a solution for you.

Hi Ingrid

My screen looks basically the same as what you describe, in that it starts off in ARF with the list of topics located slightly to right of centre, then when I click on a topic, the text shifts to the left and the sidebar of 'More Discussions' appears on the right.

I don't have the problem with text in the list of topics disappearing off to the right, though. It all fits normally, plenty of room...

I wonder if everything got out of kilter somehow, while you were trying various things to get the text to a legible size for you? Is the whole thing now/still a bit too large to fit your screen, perhaps? If so, can you reduce it just a little bit more, without the print becoming too tiny again? I think Houzz did increase the text size at one stage, after that first barrage of complaints, so perhaps it would be OK to downsize a bit now?*

Alternatively, might it be that your whole screen content shifted over to the right at some stage - mine used to do that sometimes on my old computer, for reasons I never fathomed. I don't suppose there's a grey bar along the bottom you can just shift left a bit, is there?

That's all I can think of at the moment... I do hope you can find a way to fix it somehow, soon. It must be very frustrating.

*Oh, yes, can you get into 'Settings' on your computer, and increase your font size? Then you might be able to reduce the page (with that F- thing) without making the print too tiny.

Good luck!

Does anyone else have this problem leaving Jades outdoors?

Mike it is not your fault it is the locataion of where you live. Is your air carrying heavey high humidity this time of the year, if so that is your problem.? Jades grow on rocky hillsides in SW Africa. They love to be cramped between rocks, it reminds them of home. I have said this over and over through the years, does anyone here pay attention or am I just wasting time? I need to know. Check back through the archives for the past 15 years. There is no magic pill that will cure this. It is a cultural condition which you will need to learn, I know this is not what you want to hear, but I can not sugar this up so the information will go down easier. Norma

Does anyone else have a problem with Dental X-Rays?

I always hated getting that one back x-ray with the film. It always hurt. But I got through it. Now, they have digital x-rays. There is no film. It's a big plastic thing that has no give to it and hurts like heck. This thing made me cry. It was so painful. I could not even do it. And they kept trying and trying and it was cutting the bottom of my mouth. They made me feel really stupid and were very threatening because they said, well your insurance isn't going to cover it unless you take this x-ray. So here I am in the car crying and trying to find out if anybody else has this problem. Of course I should know by now that if I have a problem a lot of people have a problem. It's never just me. Has anyone experienced this digital x-ray bs? How do I get through this? I asked for a smaller one. they said they didn't have one. They only had one size. I said how can that be when everyone has different sized mouths?

Does anyone else have back disc problems?

This is my story. I have gone thorough the same things, was in so much pain could not walk, sit, lay or even eat, lots of numbness. Did not want to keep taking pain pills and was scheduled for back surgery on the following Monday. I literally crawled out of bed to my desk and in grabbing stuff the phone book fell open at my feet to a page for a local chiropractor(also neurological specialist). I had never been to one in my life but at that point was willing to give it a try, since it seemed to be my sign. I called and the doctor answered(it was closing time), I was in tears and told him my situation. He said can you get here now? I called my husband to come home and take me there (I had to lay in the back of the suv). That was on the Friday afternoon, he saw me evaluated me and looked at my mri and xrays I brought with me. He put the tens machine on my back with heat for 10 mins or so then he put me on the decompression table, he said this will be your miracle. After that he did some work on my back and told me to come back Saturday to do it again and he would meet me back at his clinic after church on Sunday, we wanted to get as much in as possible before my Surgery scheduled on Monday. He told me I would start to feel improvement with in about an hour after the decompression. He was right, I went back each day and by Monday I was up, walking, had very little pain remaining and called to cancel the surgery. We continued a few times a week till I was ok to only go every few weeks. I have continued to go have decompression sessions every few months now and I can tell when it is time for me to go, and I am back pain free, no pain drugs, and did indeed find my miracle. Decompression is truly a miracle. I do not know where I would be today if that phone book had not fallen at my feet. But I sure do thank which ever of my guardian angels sent that to me. I bought my own tens machine so anytime I begin to feel any twinges I sit with my tens on for a while which helps till I go have decompression. I have several other people that I suggested trying decompression to and they have had incredible success also. the science behind decompression is sound, it is very similar to traction. Now there are a lot of physical therapy facilities that use decompression. When I moved here one of the first things I did was find an office near me that had a decompression table. there are many sites that can explain spinal decompression if you google it this is just one. This is an FDA approved non-surgical option. What is Spinal Decompression Therapy?

Here's the latest request I sent: Myself and many other Apple Safari users are having an issue with the GW site. Here are four OT threads I started in different forums on GW asking if I was the only one with the problem. I'm not. There are many of us and it seems your solution is instead of using our Safari browsers, we should switch to Chrome (Those on an IPAD can NOT use anything other than Safari!) Why are you not willing to look at the problem many of us Apple Safari users are having. Here are the threads: http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/4653673/ot-anyone-else-having-this-problem?n=36 (Kitchen Forum with 10 users with Safari problems) http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/4654673/ot-anyone-else-have-this-problem?n=9 (Bathroom forum with 4 users experiencing problems with Safari) http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/4653535/anyone-else-having-this-problem?n=25 (Building a Home forum with 10 users having problems with Safari) http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/4654675/ot-anyone-else-having-this-problem-with-their-apple-products?n=18 (And 10 on the Home Decorating Forum) So far that's 34 GW users having problems with Safari. Sorry but telling us to switch to Chrome (which is not even possible when using the IPad is not the answer!) Here is what happens. When I click onto a forum everything is usually fine. If I start clicking on the threads, and then click back to the forum, I get the blue box. (See attachment labeled Screen Shot 2017-05-20 and see red arrow pointing to blue box) Apparently I didn't realize this, but I also get a gray lined box around the outside of the threads that go down about 12-14 threads (See green arrow pointing to the line). Anything within that gray lined box, meaning the top 12-14 threads can not be clicked on. Nothing happens. Anything below that gray box can be clicked on. (See attachment labeled Screen Shot 2017-05-24 which shows the bottom of the gray lined box.) A company that cares about its users will not just say tough luck and switch to something else. They will find a solution. I have contacted the website request but to no avail as they tell us to switch to Chrome or it's a problem with our browser. Yes it's a problem with our browser, but it's a problem for many of us! Attachment(s) Screen Shot 2017-05-24 at 9.16.39 AM.png Screen Shot 2017-05-20 at 3.41.51 PM.png

Ingrid,.... I think I know what you mean.... try this...

on the main Antique Rose Forum page, just above the first thread topic, where you see the number of discussions...e.g currently. 15,002 Discussions/Antique Roses,... look to the right of this where you see ''Latest Activity''...and then to the right of this again.... you will see 3 symbols... one has 3 horizontal lines... one in the middle has 2 horizontal lines... and the one on the right has a square box...

..I think most probably you have the middle one highlighted... in black.. the one with the 2 horizontal lines... that gives you the type of screen you are describing...

..to correct this, simply click on the symbol to the left with the 3 horizontal lines, and your screen format should change with it, hopefully to one you find easier to use...

Thank you very much, ladies. I've changed the font size down one increment and that improves things considerably. One other thing that's happened since the change is that everywhere in the computer the print became difficult to read, sort of pale and wavy, no longer sharp and clear. It's as though the switch to houzz has influenced more than just the gardenweb part. A lot of things had to be done to fix that, and then of course those changes caused some new issues. This too shall end.......Ingrid
