I'm unsure how to best describe this.
When I view any page on POF, either mail/profile, or the forums, the text is constrained on the left and right side to the confines of the page, which is narrower than my browser window, and is centered within it.
When I open the "mail settings" page of my profile most of the text is centered in the white area at the center of the page.
However the following text flows into the gray area on each side of the white area of that page:
All of these restrictions only apply when someone is trying to make FIRST CONTACT. After first contact has been made both parties can email each other regardless of restrictions.
I am unsure when this started happening, probably within the last two weeks.
Does anyone else see this? | |

Looks fine here - what screen resolution are you running and/or browser - that may be the only clue.
Works fine for me at both the following resolutions under IE
1440 x 900 1680 x 945

I am using Windows XP, on a wide-screen laptop, set at 1280 x 800 pixels resolution.
Firefox is my default browser so I just checked it with Internet Explorer 8 and Google Chrome and get the same thing happening with those browsers as well.
I haven't checked it with my other computers (but might tomorrow). | |

1280 by 768 in Firefox or IE using Vista works fine - my video card/monitor combination doesn't provide for 1280 by 800.
Try one of the settings I have if you can bare them, or are available to you.

| Text on mail settings page flows beyond page boundaries. Posted: 10/30/2009 11:15:39 PM | In addition to 1280 x 800, which is the default resolution for my LCD display, I tried the following which are the only choices I have available.
1280 x 768 1024 x 768 800 x 600
Using Firefox I did not observe any improvement.
I also tried Chrome and IE at 1280 x 768.
What I find curious is that this happens only with the Mail Settings page on POF, suggesting perhaps some wee glitch in the code for that particular page. | |

| Text on mail settings page flows beyond page boundaries. Posted: 11/2/2009 3:09:36 PM | I have logged in and checked the mail settings page with three different computers, all using Windows XP Pro, using Firefox and Internet Explorer.
All have LCD monitors (two wide-screen and one regular old full-screen).
I see the text over-flow in each case.
Of all the millions of users on POF can I be the only user who observes this odd behaviour?
