Hi Folks,

OK, so I have now completed 20 weeks on TSM. Now, although my alcohol intake for last week was 97 UK units, yesterday was a record since starting out with this method - only 10.6 UK units! And I managed to keep below the 100-unit mark in week 18. So, maybe, just maybe, something is starting to happen. Who knows?

Watch this space.

And why do your posts always run off the left side of the screen??

Hi WTE,

Thanks for your kind words.

As for your question above, I had no idea that my posts ran off the screen. They look fine on both my desktop PC and my laptop. Did you really mean the left side? I will probably ask N101CS to check it out. I wonder if my posts run off other members' screens?!

All the best.

Yes Virgil, very hard to read and it's the right side!

Interesting ... looks fine here in Firefox browser (PC and Mac) but does indeed extend to the right in Internet Explorer (PC). IE7 isn't soft-wrapping the text; it only breaks on paragraphs. Weird.

Fraid so- i had just been wondering about this when i discovered WTE had asked the question. I have a mac.

Looks like Safari (Mac) has a problem as well. Puzzling.

Hi Folks,

Many thanks for all the feedback regarding my posts scrolling off the RH side of the screen. I thought the problem was being caused by my using Firefox but not so. I need to explore further. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Virgil,

No big deal about having to scroll to read your posts - besides, I need the exercise! :lol:

Seriously though, I think it might have something to do with the weekly numbers in your signature line continuing on in one long line. What if you tried splitting it into a couple of shorter lines? I only suggest this because I don't remember this being an issue back when you didn't have such a long timeline. Who knows - just an idea that crept into my twisted little brain...

Ding ding. Pretty sure that's it. The line breaks in IE at the first blank space (in between "In" and "Progress"). Firefox just forces a wrap, regardless. Simple edit to sig line should fix this for ya.

Kris & PV,

Many, many thanks for identifying the cause of the scrolling problem, which I have now acted upon and the problem appears to be fixed. As I use Firefox in preference to IE, I simply wasn't aware that there was a problem.

Thanks a million to you both and everyone else who flagged up the problem in the first place.
