... message bodies stretch waaaay past the right side of my screen. I frequent several message boards, but SWG's is the only one I can't get to stay within the confines of my monitor!
Previously, with Internet Exploder, I didn't have this problem. So, is there anything I can do without resorting to IE?

I'm running IE right now and its doing the same thing. I think they have been tinkering with the site and its on server end rather than the browser end.

Which forum skin are you using?
I'm using the Imperial Crackdown one and I never get it, but sometimes do with the new JTL one. (with Opera).

Yeah, I use Firefox, and many time it streches over. Although it is REALLY annoying, the ability to use tabs makes up for it 100x. But I think the reason the Forums fir in IE all te time, and sometimes in Firefox, is they read the HTML slighty different. There are some sites that even look very different in Firefox as apposed to IE. But if you want to blame someone, always blame Microsoft
because they didn't follow the HTML guidelines as close as they should've, if I remember correctly.

Hmm, it does this on IE also, eh?
Oh well. Glad to see it's not a personal setup problem, I guess!

i use opera and firefox on a pc and safari, mozilla and ie on mac and it happens on all of them - didn't notice if skins changed it but they might have done.
forum devs - use standards compliant stuff - it's not rocket science

With CTL+Scoll Wheel you can zoom in FireFox, it helps sometimes.

The forum skin I'm using is the Imperial Crackdown version. I use that at home (Firefox) and at work (Int.Explorer). The IE at work keeps SWG's threads dressed up. For most parts, anyways.
Thanks for the information, guys.
