Now, if I could just figure out how to adjust the horizontal size of the
lugnet posting window so that I can use the vertical scroll bar without a

Hmm, that sounds very odd.  What screen resolution do you run at (640x480?)

Settings indicate 640x480.  My monitor does not support anything larger which

and what font size do you use (higher than 12 pt?)?

Netscape v 4.51 is set for Fixed width font Courier 10 allowing document
specific fonts.
Would I get better results with a different font size?

On this topic, I'd like to see the whole window made a bit smaller. I always have to scroll down to get to see the fields and text entry box. Perhaps let me set preferences on the server and remember them... ++Lar (25 years ago, 8-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
