That big banner is showing again and covering the topic or and my pre sig (waiting for the ability to add pics to sigs)

That’s a menu John. Sadly this is happening to you because of your low res settings. At the moment there is not much I can do especially as the menu grows with new additions. You could turn your res above 1024 or shrink your open window so it reverts to mobile view.

 

No images planned for sigs!

Thanks Lee

That’s it then I will have to put up with it. The larger the res the smaller the view my eyes can’t cope.

I get tiny white lines running down the screen, maybe graphics.

Try and force the mobile view John. Could be an option. I don’t know for sure, but there is probably a pluggin you can use to do it.

Then you should get a larger font, and cleaner ui, on a lesser res. Maybe.

 

Update – try this if your on chrome

Thanks Duke I use FF more, I am using chrome with the extension and it seems no different,

Thinking deeper I looked in user agent switcher.

Samsung Galaxy S3 (Handset)

Samsung Galaxy Tab (Tablet)

Etc I am on a Desktop PC not tabs or phones

We know your on a desktop John, that’s why you was sent a link to a chrome extention to see if forcing the mobile page helped. The extention was just an example that it’s possible, Im sure there is a similar dev tool for FF.

What res is your monitor? Pic a phone with approximate res as your monitor (in the user agent switcher drop down) , and the mobile page ‘should’ make the mobile page fit better for you on your screen. If Lee built it right ? it should dynamically adjust.

If not, I don’t know.

I am pleased to say the banner on this site stays the same, giving no problems on my cover image. (see 1st post in this thread)

Nice one Lee

Click within browser window then try hitting Ctrl  and + a couple of times when in higher res mode!

[johnbarry]

More than happy Lee

Ed I don’t even have to alter my res, always been with 1024 x 768. Lee did suggest it but it’s my eyes that suffer.

I wonder who’m Clundy is, he/she comes and goes. It’s strange you ask it certainly isn’t me.

@johnbarry That’s why I asked, I see the picture often and confuse it with you sometimes. The image appears to be a family relation all though this one like’s Motorbikes.

When I first seen it I thought it might be confusing. I change mine (removed the Ape) but then thought, no I will leave it.

I am now considering moveing Ape as it’s pixly when larger. I have tried your suggested settings but it stretches out and looks worse.

Clundy has the better Ape (pixels) but lighter.

Ctrl and + only affects the browser page image – it magnifies it. It does not alter the screen resolution.

Ctrl and = reverses it and decreases browser page image size.

Both sets of keystrokes work in Firefox edge and IE. Neither alter the actual window size. You can repeat ctrl+ at least three times – I’m not sure if there is an upper limit as I have never needed to use the sequence more than three times.

Try it you may like it.

I find it very useful running Linux vms within a 4K monitor as Linux does not have Windows automatic font size function.

btw just resize your Ape image to 300×300 you can do this without making it too pixelated. link

[Optional]

Ed I tried it, at first I liked it. However after a few tries it seemed to stick and the top banner altered with the menu (contact login forums etc) in the banner as apposed to the menu box.

Even after closing FF and re opening it was the same?

[johnbarry]

Nice one Ed I like it, it helps my eyes a lot.

Cheers
John

I had a typo in my post CTRL and –  (the minus sign) reduces the image size. Sorry about that!

[johnbarry]

No probs I found out

Cheers
