N400 August 2010 Filers

[zqt3344 21]

Sir Lancelot, in all due respect your way of posting on the August filers is not readable, is in two lines, run on sentences, mismatched headings and titles and uninformative. It is not easy to look at or read, so if you feel you must go ahead post what you like and myself and others that like it the way we have been posting and able to read it shall also, that way you can see it the way it looks best for you and we can see it the way it looks best for us. No big deal, but I am not going to be bullied by you. And to be honest, what is the problem trying to fix it or improve it so those of us that want to see it better can, even Alan told you which posting looks the best, that would be mine, yet you ignore it. And you can report whatever to a mod, you are the one being silly here.

Instructions for adding/updating yourself (or assisting others) to this list:

1. DO NOT DELETE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Please make sure you are using Rich Text Editor as your message setting.

3. Click "Reply" on the most recent/updated posting version of this list.

4. Remove the "Quote Coding" at the top and bottom of the list.

5. Red Font="I'm A United States Citizen"!

I don't see the original spec as being set in stone like the Constitution as I think it should evolve to suit the average member (We the people)

I would ask whether the average member was even consulted before the 'standard' was set ?

If the majority of members see 2 lines instead of one, then I think it should be formatted for the average member and not just those who decided the format to suit their own screen resolution

I repeat that 1024x768 is a standard web design screen resolution - so if it can't be seen clearly using that resolution, then it does need to be changed for the benefit of the majority or the average user

Guys,

Are you aware that one can easily temporarily change the font size of web pages by pressing Control-minus (smaller) or Control-plus (larger)? (And one can manually set arbitrary percentages in between the standard increments accessed by these Ctrl keys.) --- This might render this font war moot.

(PS: And, even at the danger of adding fuel to the fire, fixed-width fonts ARE the standard for lists like this.)

Doing control+ and control - does not change how many lines can be seen, only the size of the image.

Please try these solutions first before recommending them

There is no fire or font war - it's just a question of finding out what layout suits the MAJORITY of users. I don't believe the present one does. I believe it was set without consultation and only to suit the originator's own set up.

Well, Alan, I don't know what browser you have, but it does work for both IE and Firefox. (Unless, of course, you have some non-standard setup which hijacks the Ctrl-+/- keys for its own purposes.) In a standard setup, the lines get reformatted to accommodate the new font size. I do that all the time when I use my netbook which also has a smallish screen.

control + and - makes the screen bigger or smaller but it does not change whether we see 1 line or 2 lines.

I use IE 7 set to medium font and 100%. Changing this size or zoom does not change the number of lines being shown.

Try it and you will see. It's like seeing a photo bigger or smaller - the image remains the same.

I think ie 7 set to 100% and medium font is the standard for the majority of users; but as I say, changing these settings makes no difference - it is ALL about the screen resolution.

You 2 guys who are happy with what you see , try changing your resolution to 1024x768 and you will see what I am seeing and control + or control - makes zero difference

[hhN400 3]

Try it and you will see.

I did try it and it works for me. And it works exactly as its supposed to work if one changes the resolution in IE from 100% to, say, 90% or 75%, i.e., you get more of the web page --- more lines, wider lines --- into the same size browser window. If it doesn't work for you, you have a non-standard setup.

[Captain Oates 910]

this is a screen shot of what i see with the size increased to 125%. I have to slide the bar to the right to see the whole page which is much bigger - but the image remains the same

You are zooming in (i.e., you make the problem worse). Have you tried zooming out, with Ctrl-minus, or manually set it to a smaller font size (say, 80% or so)?

minus makes the screen smaller (down to 50%) but the image parameters are not affected. A smaller text size (smallest) similarly makes no difference to how many lines are shown

Perhaps you guys are using a non standard browser such as firefox

What screen resolutions are you using ? Have you tried mine to see the effect ?

I am sure its all about screen resolution

[Captain Oates 910]

ok here is screen shot with the zoom set to 75% (see bottom right)

You can also see the txt size set to medium (top right)

You can see it makes no difference to the two lines

Only the resolution does that

As I said, for me it works the same way on both IE7 and Firefox, and it works exactly as I described it on all machines I have access to. In particular, as I explained, on my netbook the lines also wrap around to make the lists unreadable, but Ctrl-minus does the trick to change the browser-window font size and correspondingly reformats the lines without unwanted wrapping. If your system does not behave like this, you have a non-standard setup. (Is it possible that some key combinations are captured by the graphics driver software? At least that's the first place I would start looking.)

Anyway, have you looked at the latest October lists? They chose a space-saving format which makes the fixed-width lines shorter. Does this work for you? If so, someone may perhaps want to reformat your list in a similar manner.

browser window font size - is that the same as text size ? as in 'page - text size ? I dont have 'font size' in IE7

I have 4 desktop computers and a laptop all running IE7 and XP 3 and they all behave the same - the graphics cards are all different

[hhN400 3]

Alan, I don't want to cut this discussion short, but I gotta go now to take care of my day job. In any case, I don't think I can say anything beyond what I said already. Perhaps someone else may want to comment on their experience with changing the zoom status of the browser window?

ok thanks. My zoom works fine but it doesnt reformat the header line to expand it so all the column headers are shown on one line.

My set up is standard XP3 with IE 7 and I installed all the software and operating systems myself using defaults

Mty graphics cards are all standard default settings too

I look fwd to any suggestions but I suspect the authors are using advanced (not IE7) browsers
