Sometimes, that because of an error of the web designer or deliberate actions of users of a forum the page becomes so wide that on it it is inconvenient to read the text — it is necessary to use horizontal scrolling. The similar situation can be eliminated on side of both the server, and the client.
Instruction
1. If the page of a forum became too wide after you left on it the message, define in the beginning what became the reason of such situation. If you placed too wide image in the message, replace it on another having smaller horizontal permission. Using photohostings, place in the messages not full-size images, but their sketches with links to pages of viewing larger pictures. The majority of photohostings generates such links automatically. If such function is absent, and in a forum BB tags work, use the following design: [url=http://сервер.домен/крупнаякартинка.jpg] [img] of http://сервер.домен/эскиз.jpg [/img] [/url] At absence in a forum of support of BB tags just place in the message instead of the image the link to it.
2. Some forum "engines" cause increase in width of the page after the room of too long links. In the forum allowing use of BB tags it is possible to bypass this restriction so: [url=http://сервер.домен/папка/папка/страница.html] is a link to the interesting page! [/url] If the forum does not support work with BB tags, use services of one of the following resources intended for reduction of URL: http://goo.gl, http://tinyirl.com, http://bit.ly, etc.
3. Increase in width of the page at placement of too large images can be used by so-called trolls for the purpose of creation of inconveniences for visitors of a forum. If you are precisely sure that similar actions are carried out purposely, report the matter to the administrator of a resource. If you are one of moderators, edit the corresponding message.
4. If the mistake is made by the web designer, and nothing depends on you, try to view the same page in other browser. Perhaps, it will show it with a normal width. Try all browsers which are available for you. Anyway, report to the administrator of a resource that in some browsers the page is displayed with an error. In the Opera browser there is a function of forced narrowing of the page to screen width. To activate it, in old versions of Opera click in the lower right corner, and in the appeared form select the Adjust on Width item.
5. When using of mobile browsers (UC, Opera Mini) will help to make a choice page width to equal screen width in settings of function under the name "Mobile View" or similar. In addition, when viewing the page as on the computer, and on the phone it is possible to make the text readable through the following service: http://skweezer.com. Just pass to this website, copy in the field of the URL page which you wish to view, and key "Search" (when entering URL instead of a search phrase there is a transition to the corresponding page in browse mode to compression).
