Allen--
Not sure what you mean by "do you have a column on one side? "
What I see on the forum list of posts is all but the last digit of the hour of the post and the am and pm. Hence it gives me a scroll bar at the bottom of the screen.
In MSIE 5.5 I have the text size set to "smaller"--any smaller and my old eyes wouldn't be able to read it.
Not sure where to check the other settings. In Win95 Display Properties|Settings, I have Desktop Area set to 800X600 pixels.
