What is wrong with this board ??
:
The pics extend downward, as they should, but they now obliterate the response posts from the other people. All pics now do that on these boards, yet oddly no one has mentioned it yet. See the "pre-60's" board, and click on "Parts Needed" and also "Do you lets the kids use your machine?" Both of those messages have nice pics in the posts, but the follow-up posts are underneath the images !!
Another minor problem is that the headers at the top of the page have odd blue blocky shapes. Each heading is placed within a 1/2" square light blue block - and the black text is cut off since it can't fit inside just a half-inch of space.
Jim and Pat - I am just pointing this out, so please don't take offense.

What browser are you using? I'm using IE and the posts look fine.

Hey - you are right ! I am using the most recent version of Netscape Commnicator (v4.79), and the problems does exist. But I just tried IE and all the pics came out just fine, and the blockiness stopped. Apparently there is some HTML coding problems where it is not cross-compatible with both browsers.
Jim:
I hate to say this, but Netscape 4.79 is not considered a current version. May I suggest upgrading to 6.2 or later(if there is a newer version) as this is what I utilize to view the board with no problems...
Version 4.xx has been known to produce problems with some table structures as well as font sizing.
Lastly, when you privately corresponded, you never followed and sent me the info I requested... I might be a little slow at times but I'll always try to correct problems for users if at all possible! In this case, upgrading your browser is the best course of action.

Actually, I have no problems with any of the other forums and websites that I frequent, and this version of Netscape is not generally considered problematic. The forum worked fine with Netscape 4 before, but I won't make a big deal out of it. There are still a lot of Netscape users out there that never upgraded to 6 for various reasons. I have my own reasons - but since there are so many Netscape 4.xx users, it is a good idea to make websites work for IE, Netscape 4.xx, and Netscape 6.xx
Backwards compatibity is a good goal, IMHO
What I should have said is that 4.79 was the last version before AOL messed up the bookmark functionality. With 6.xx they only have one column for bookmarks, and they also used a clunkier interface for managing your bookmarks (similar to IE - where if you have hundreds of bookmarks and folders it is a real bear to manage them).
With just one column of bookmarks, it really limits me. With Netscape 4.79 I can see 4 or 5 columns, so I can instantly switch web pages easily (I have a helluva lotta bookmarks).
