For some reason the way responses and questions have been displayed has changed , most odd.
firstly i still see the question on top of page and responses underneath but then when i clickthe display distorts sideways,ie i have questions on left side of screen gap in middle then responses on right of screen.
then if i clickagain i get back to original screen.it has only started today.any ideas?????

I saw the wide screen and it was adjusted by me. Someone posted a URL link from a website in plain text (ie. not using the link process) the URL was 387 characters long, the browser does not know how to break the line when a there is no space characters in it so there was a post that appeared very wide. I inserted a few spaces in the URL which would mean it did not work directly however it was stuffing up the display of the pages.
If you write a line with heaps of characters and no spaces or returns in it the same thing will happen. There is a way of fixing this but again everything takes time and planning - It has only occured in two posts in three years so I just fix them when they happen.Regards

Hum,
I have just seen it tried a few different lines of code on the
forum and it does not seem to make the problem go away. Interesting that it has only started recently. I am about to move the entire site to another new server (fast bigger etc etc) in the next few days so we will see what happens when this occurs.
I will monitor this if you see it say next week let me know and I will attempt some more investigation.
Bloody computers!Regards
