Hugely Blown up Page When I Go to CR4. How to Restore Normal View?

06/08/2013 1:47 AM

For the past few days I get a hugely blown up page when I log on to CR4. It is so large that I have to scroll sideways to see even this line fully.

This is the case only with CR4. All other pages display normally.

It happened by itself. How can the normal view be restored?

Maybe you just need a larger screen........or you could just hit ctrl and the minus sign...

Being a mere mortal human, missed what the (Solar) Eagle eye saw!

'Control-' worked. Thanks.

Still, why did that happen by itself?

When a poster inserts a wide image, the screen expands to accommodate it, rather than shrinking the image to fit the normal screen width. Unfortunately, subsequent posts inherit the oversize screen.

Is it just happening on the homepage or on a specific page? What type of device, operating system, and browser are you using? The homepage looks ok to me from my phone this morning. It doesn't display images from the threads so if it is really wide that sounds like something on your end.

Ctrl+ will make the page larger (great for those that can't find their reading glasses.)

Ctrl- will make it smaller.

Ctrl 0 (that's the number zero key) will set it to the default size.

You forgot to turn the EGO filter on. Some egos here are larger than life.

Interesting Lyn.

That is exactly what I have been at for the past few years. I am actively following a practice to destroy this ego.

May be the screen is compensating.

That's funny. I've been feeding mine for many years.

But, tcmtech still has a bigger ego than I.

The problem is you have loaded up the wrong site, you are on the CR4 companion site http://C4.globalspec.com

Jack - Finally an excuse to use my C4 / CR4 joke I have been holding on to.
