Why does my screen do this?

Maybe some of you can answer this great mystery.

Often when I sign onto the SDMB, the website ‘page’ is frequently bigger than my screen, forcing me to sideways scroll to read all of a message or post. At other times, it loads up sized just right. Why is this?

Lately, from time to time, the screen loads up either correct size or too big and a lot of the standard information print – like the stuff in blue – from the SDMB looks like it is eroded. In order to read it, I often have to highlight everything, then click off, which mostly seems to restore the letters.

Anyone know why this is?


What? Me worry?’

It means someone posted a URL that was too long.

BTW, a question like that is more suited to “About This Message Board”. Not that anyone’s objecting to its inclusion here, but ATMB was created for technical questions.
