Why do I find so much space in my posts, even when I have written just a little. Just look below these words, and you will see what I mean, alot of space for a little post—>. There’s really nothing wrong with that, actually it might draw attention to an otherwise small post. I just wasn’t sure if I was doing something wrong or not. Probably not, I guess. And why did I come to the boards today, and find myself suddenly logged out? I have been on these boards for close to a couple years now, one year on my own computer, and this is the first time this has ever happened.
You’re going to be surprised by my lack of computer knowledge. But all that I know is that the internet browser I use–if that is what you mean–takes the form of a “e” witht the words “internet explorer” under that. I assume the “e” stands for “e-machines®”, the computer we bought last year. It seems to be a good product so far.
Actually I think I am gaining alot of knowledge about computers and the internet. Trial and error is the best teacher I have ever met. You’re right though, I don’t see much space below my OP. Maybe it is just a fluke that happens sometimes. I see it sometimes below other people’s posts too.
Okay, well do this. Next time you find a post that does have a lot of extra space, copy the URL for the thread, come back here, and paste it here, so we can have a look at what you’re talking about. Or maybe someone else knows, and they can post the URL. The URL is the web address found in the box labelled Address. Here’s the one for this thread:
I know space can sometimes be a relative thing. I see a space too big, but someone else might say it is too small. As I said, though, I really have no problem with it personally. But you asked for an example. And since I can’t think of any offhand, I will try an experiment. After this post, I will simply post a “Hi”. If it does what I think it might, you will see alot of space below it.
I can’t help with the sudden logout, but I haven’t been logged out since the last update and I was wondering if the problem had been fixed. Apparently not completely.
On most posts, the “Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged” line is right above the line at the bottom of the window. On your “Hi” post, there is an extra blank line between that line and the bottom of the post. Is this what you mean?
In this case, it is because the header info (name, status, location, etc) has more lines than the post, so the extra space is inserted.
The “e” is the Internet Explorer logo. It has a swirl around it. It stands for “explorer”.
Was it the one year anniversary of using your computer? Maybe there’s a time factor in the cookie or something that you have to renew.
