I have tried to follow this post.
However the windows are double
width. I have to give up.
Anyone else have the problem?
wow

Yep, happened to me too. The window is wider than my screen. Makes the mice on the MacWheel have to run in 2/4 time, and still to no avail

The stampede to Weekly Themes seemed a bit less than a thundering herd.

That several contributors of advanced status felt that posts I made to Q&A about Words, and to Miscellany should have been put in Weekly Themes where nobody would see them.

how odd.... yours is still wide? mine corrected itself as soon as it bumped over into "page three".

btw, i too thought perhaps the problem was the result of my font changes, until i realized that it occurred first in the post above mine.

I don't think we know (short of cutting and pasting bits into a new message in a new thread) -- one "bad" message messes up the whole "page", above and below. btw, this "page" is now normal for me also.

Same thing happened to me ... and then it righted itself with my Feb 20 post.
However, the problem persists in my "Words Learned in Genealogy" flat mode, started by wwh.
Arrrrggggghhhh!

>I don't think we know [where the wide page problem originated] (short of cutting and pasting bits into a new message in a new thread)

Oh yes we do! Unlike the rest of you, the problem still persisted for me, because I was still on Page 1, having set my Display Preferences to 99 posts per page (a la lusy).

Setting preferences (temporarily!) to 1 post/page reveals that the problem is in fact bridget96's post with the long purple quote.

Sorry to dob you in, bridget, but I just couldn't let you weasel out of it like that.
