Blocking last post.

[scinsc]

New post/Search/Search Results.

To the right of the threads are page numbers 1,2,3 and then a space and then number for last page visited.

Many times this last page will be covered up with a symbol that looks like an envelope or paperclip that prevents accessing the last page visited. Can the envelope and paperclip be moved so they won't block last page visited?
Thanks.

In response to your question, I went here ...

MANY pages in that thread. I don't see the item which is blocking your last page. Can you say what your screen resolution is set to? Which browser you're using?

Yep, your screen resolution settings can definitely cause the issue you are referring to.

That happens to me a lot too. Will check resolution

1280 x 960, Internet Explorer.

1280 x 960, Internet Explorer.

That resolution shouldn't be a problem.
I don't use MSIE much and don't have a recent version of it installed. But, surely someone else who is familiar with MSIE can shed some light on this. Sorry, I don't know what else it would be. Again, I don't see it.

Revisting the question: This is what the icons should look like.

Is that the way they appear to you?

The last number in the sequence is the highest numbered page currently in the thread. As you can see from the image (snatched off my screen) it isn't covered on my computer. Is it on yours?

On your screenshot nothing is covered up.
If I go to the list the 15 would be covered by the envelope and paperclip. You can see parts of the 15 box in the background but you can't get to it to click. BTW my monitor is 22" wide if that helps.
Thanks for your help.

OK, SC from SC, I got mine to look as you describe: by narrowing the browser window. This is why I originally asked you what your monitor resolution was set to.

My monitor is 1920x1200 (or 1200x1920 in portrait mode). Even in portrait mode (1200 wide) I don't see your problem when my browser is taking up even close to the full width. However, if I narrow it down, the subject column is robbed in width and I see the effect you're talking about.

i.e., I'm guessing you're not allowing your browser to have enough of your monitor's real estate. Whaddaya say?

All of my windows are full screen. I'm not sure how I could add more real estate to the browser. Is it a setting in the browser, ECF or settings in control panel?
Thanks, SC

I'm not familiar with a Windows OS newer than WinXPP. Maybe this much hasn't changed though. In your CP, open Display, click Settings tab, and adjust the Screen Resolution slide bar if it isn't already at the highest available setting.

Another possibility: Check the zoom settings and default font size settings in your browser (if available in MSIE).



EDIT: It doesn't seem to me that the problem would be your screen resolution. At your present 1280 wide ... that's wider than mine in portrait mode and I don't see what you're talking about. But then, I'm not using MSIE.

Tried them, same problem.
You've gone over and above the call of duty NCC, Thank you.
But it's time for me to move on. It's not that big a deal, it just adds one extra click. I was just hoping someone had had the same problem and had a solution.
