I have read pages and pages (and tried numerous search criteria) but, still, I can't find the answer to my problem. My problem is, too many of the pages I view are not centred on my screen and there is no scroll bar visible to correct this with. Here's a screenshot to show exactly what I see so that someone can post, dumkoff - click yadda yadda, problem solved (Hopefully)

I'd say it's more of a display/default browser zoom issue. You can zoom out by holding down ctrl and then scroll the mousewheel backwards, or forwards for zooming in. I just noted this while I changed between IE, FF and Opera that IE had the closest zooming option, while both FF and Opera had one level lower, which most likely prevents the above mentioned issue from occurring.

This also leads to one problem with IE; When you zoom out, it starts making the font used on the site slightly jagged, which means IE lacks the automatic smoothing(NOT blur.) that Opera for example seems to have. The main reason behind all of this is most likely over sized signatures by someone(In length.) or how the 'word wrap' feature on site works.(Mainly about how long it allows each row of text to be.)

In the end it comes down to what resolution your display is, what zoom level your browser is using/been 'customized' to use. If it becomes unbearable,(And even if not.) I'd advice you to change to FF, Opera or try out the google Chrome.(Which I've left alone since I'm happy with Opera.)

Not 'All' pages are displayed incorrectly, as in, "too many ...." , but approaching almost half.
For instance, this page (when I click your reply) just resizes itself to fit my screen resolution.
Further, you might have seen (at the bottom right of my posted screenshot) the magnifying glass set at 100%. At this setting I view the whole WWW without issue and, as a rule, only ever zoom when I read PDF's. Incidentally, if I do zoom in on this page, this page is still centralised and fully visible on my screen at 130% zoom.

Thanks for your reply, it enables me to respond with further info. At least that's what I hope.

Have you tried increasing your display resolution? I used to use the same reso as you 1024x768, however when I cranked it to 1280x1024, all of the problems disappeared with the few topics that I've seen it happen in.(This implies that I've used IE a lot, which is true, with me having over 450 pages currently open in Opera. Everytime I open it, you can imagine the load time. I only use it when I've got loads of things I need to browse simultaneously.)

If not possible, tell me and I'll try to think of other alternatives.

I use Firefox & the only time it stretches off screen like that is when a large image is loading on the page (regardless if on-screen or not).

That happens with all browsers with large images, however FF/Opera/IE all use different zoom settings and possibly different settings for text row length control/sharpen/smoothing settings. If pedantic wants to stick with IE, I believe cranking up the resolution would solve this, otherwise a change of browser could help. I'll just throw in the links for the heck of it;

Yes, 1280 x 1024 resulted in the reference page politely popping into place. However, I can't read a darned thing at that resolution. I'm an aged individual.

In that same thread, now that I can see the righthand side of the screen, I noticed even URL text breaking out of the text box.

Sigh, I need to go back to 1024 x 768, even then I have to glue my snout to the screen. Thanks for your consideration.

Well, there are still those three other suggested browsers, if you don't mind switching. Glad if these posts helped you though.

edit; On a note, although it's slow, you can use your mouse to start whiting out(Can't remember the correct term/word for it.) the text and moving your cursor to the right edge of the page, so it starts automatically dragging the center of your browser in the same direction, which lets you read what's hidden there. Another option is to simply quote the unreadable posts and read them in the reply window.

That's as far as I got in my enquiries, the reference screenshot I posted was loosely on that subject. I couldn't reply earlier, Flood Control playing up this end .. Thanks for your input.

EDIT: And I lost half of my CTRL-C post, ugh! The first part. Yes, I have Internet Options/ Advanced/ Multimedia/ Automatic Image Resizing - enabled. That's a normal occurence when your own resolution is exceeded.

I'm an Engineer, so I'm not about to change browser without first dicovering the reason behind my problem. It only ever occurs on this brilliant Nexus.

I'd say it has something to do with how the inbuilt(?) 'word wrap' feature works in IE, however I don't poke around in IE much, so can't say with 100% certainty. This is about how far I can go with my knowledge about using IE unfortunately.

Highlighting, that's a good suggestion! I'll give it a shot!

EDIT: Well, that didn't solve the problem. What it did do was allow me to read the text I could never previously read. Excellent. I'll continue to look into this. IE used to only have zoom and it was a boon as opposed to a problem. Now that we have auto stretch or shrink to page, it's all gone tits up!

I already PM'ed you, but thought I'd post this in case someone has the same problem. I confirmed after a little searching that IE has an inbuilt wordwrap that can't be customized from the settings, which leads to the fact that if you're suffering from this problem with IE, your only viable options are to;

a)Zoom out and read what's out of screen. Some of the text may become jagged, but it's fixable by setting 'View->Text Size->Medium' after the zooming process is done.

b)Highlight the text and drag your mouse until you've moved the center of the screen enough to be able to read all of it.

c)Change your display resolution up from whatever you're using.(1024x768 seems to suffer from this, however 1280x1024 on the other hand is free of it. I haven't tested the other ones between the two, or the commonly used 800x600. On a side note; If you've used your old resolution for a long time, changing to a bigger one can cause mild nausea/headache for a little while after the change, however this won't always occur and varies a lot from person-to-person. For me it's mild nausea, for a couple of my friends it's small headache, some don't suffer from any of it, few have a combo of the two.)

d)Change your browser to one of the following(Or search for another alternative if you don't like these);
Opera(clicky)
Mozilla Firefox(clicky)
Google Chrome(clicky)

P.S. There may be other solutions, but I've failed to encounter them as of yet.

If installation is an issue (like at government facilities), you could use a portable app browser which does not require installation. Here is the portable edition of Firefox.

As a side note, I use a custom plugin for Firefox called Resizeable Textarea that allows me to resize text input boxes to any shape I like.
