Why the hell does this message board cut off the text on the right margin?

Well, WHY?

It's very annoying.

P.S. I put it here because you don't really seem to have a 'general B.S." section…

it is because the pictures throw off the automatic sizing. if you limit your pictures to half the size when you try to post them. they wont cut out the text. I always edit mine to max at 400 pixels

You can also edit pictures right in the text box. If you click on the picture there will be the resizing boxes on the outside of the picture.

We dont really need a "b.s." section because that just gets out of hand. If people have questions regarding the forum or anything else, it should be sent in pm form to admin. Also resizing pictures would put a stop to the text being cut off on the right margin.

The BS section is where a large portion of your traffic comes from…

I like the off topic. its not a bs section. but it refers to something other than offroading. and resizing them helped when I posted mine. ended up editing the pics a few times to get it right. but it works

Wouldn't off topic be clasified as general discussion? That's already here. "General" is a pretty broad term and could include pretty much anything.

No.  It states;

General Discussion

Talk about anything off-road.

I like the fact this club board doesn't have a Off-Topic forum.  There are plenty of forums on the 'net to BS at.  And as a official member of this club, I hope it stays that way.  FWIW, I joined DDO because they're not just about internet forum chit-chat.

Well to be honest we dont need that sort of traffic and I dont see DDO having a section in the forum for all of that. Sorry.

I just figured it out. max pixels is 600x600. but you really wanna be about 500x500 for being reasonable. if up keep it under that (and in correct aspect) it wont cut off the text in the rest of the thread… so if we could edit the site to not accept pics above that, it would no longer be an issue
