In threaded mode the wide links affect only the post in which they are found; in flat mode they affect the whole page of posts requiring the reader to scroll horizontally at each line to read the post. It becomes rather tiresome rather quickly.

You kind attention to the shorterlink suggestion is sought, and much appreciated. Thank you.

I thought that the standard wordsmith post link that has been truncated after the "Number=XXXXX" was ok for all. "Make a shorter link" is a web tracking program, and I'm not inclined to use it. If I get a link that is too long, to insure it doesn't affect adversley, I'll leave it as text and potential visitors can open a new browser window then cut and paste into the address line!

Yes, is there? It's a little trick for us big screen types to imagine what it is like in the tiny screen world out there - are you talking Mackintosh Classic size or teeny weeny palmtop? A maximum character length would be useful. I haven't seen anything go wide for ages, so PM me if I'm the guilty party! PS Just back from scorching holiday in the Highlands and Islands - heaven on earth, shimmering blue seas and very rarely seen (at least by me) tops of mountains. Can't hand around, too busy sunbathing.

I vaguely recall someone having a solution to this issue in another lifetime - can anyone advise? ~ the actual script in the window is: <Server Error The following error occurred: The server response MIME header is too long.> Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: and talking of wide... #64367 04/10/02 11:38 PM Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 477 Sydney, Australia H hev addict hev addict H Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 477 Sydney, Australia can anyone advise? Nope - but I do feel like I have to say WELCOME back! Hope some of those other techies out there can give you the help you need!
