[normal]Right Side of "New Posts" Page Cut Off

When reporting transitive issues and ghost bugs it's important to document them well.

It's most likely a problem on your end and I wasted a bit of time looking around on a2k's end.

So the botoom line is it's not possible to say why with no information.

Since it's a problem on your end it's also likely to be impossible for me to say why even with information. Such is life.

If it happens again take a screenshot, copy the source code etc etc.

What got to me was that it never happened before, and it happened twice today. Before I wrote the original post I checked through a lot of web pages, (A2K in addition to many others) and they all were fine, except for that "New Posts" page.

Dumb question- Where do I find the source code?

In IE it's View > source

Phoenix,

Browsers of all types exhibit odd behavior every now and then. Heck on CNN last night i was unable to open any pages with IE but was able to with Netscape.

I was able to open many sites other than cnn with IE.

The problem was still on my end. And for that reason CNN wouldn't have tried to help me with it. They simply cannot solve that kind of problem.

What you mention is most likely just a glitch on your machine. And as it's a disappearing a nd reappearing problem it will be hard to solve.

Thing is, with this particular problem I'm only interested in a screenshot for curiosity. It's not something I can afford to get into anyway. I can't chase ghosts, expecially when they are on the end user's machine.

Craven- Thanks for the info. If it happens again, I will send you the source code, and the screen shot.

The screen shot is probably the most telling, because there might have just been a graphic not loading that was causing a horizontal scroll or some such.

I know the problem. It was a wide (long) topic name.

I've had that problem from time to time. But, as Craven says, I assumed it was at my end and never reported it. Doesn't happen too often but it's damned annoying when it does.

Aaaaacccchhhh!

Cruel as ever, Craven!
