Re: I sympathise!
Mariaki, it's not fear of loss of readers as much as it is just frustration at not knowing how to
fix a problem and not being able to figure it out. I have trouble just letting go and accepting
things the way they insist on being. LOL

I sympathise!
this happened to me some while back and try as I might I couldn't fix it; apparently somebody felt sorry for me because one fine day it was back to normal as if by magic
never fear your readers will not abandon you my dear; many blessings

Your post appeared perfect on my screen, but I have to say the scrolling backwards and forwards on some blogs has put me off reading them. Never fear, you are back on track!!

Crikey!
I never intended to freak you out! LOL. I'm NOT gonna stop reading you, even if I have to scroll 100 miles in both directions. ;)
But I don't think it's my computer, cuz it does it at work, at home, and on my dad's laptop. Oh well. Maybe Blogit will give us all the solution!

Re: Re: TAPS, LOL, funny you should say that...
TAPS, I remember you telling me that. I didn't read her very much.
Why do bloggers say that and then MOT tell you who they were? it's not right! lol

Re: TAPS, LOL, funny you should say that...
Shelly_b, nothing seems to work with EmmaCunnan's posts. I wonder if that's why she
stopped writing. Once she told me she had been a Blogit member previously under
a different name, but she never told me who. Do you know who she was when she
was here before? I never get over being curious. LOL

I wondered about Editormum's comment, since I wasn't experiencing it myself - and this post is perfect (all on one page) as well. Mal

Oh dear, Robdon, I hope I can change that in the days to come.
I don't much like the idea of causing people to have to slide off of the road into the ditch.

Hi TAPS. I had to scroll sideways to read your post but I have a laptop so maybe it has something to do with the width of the screen.

Shelly_b, this comment,
"I usually go straight to the comment area and click on the post link from there.
It fixes the problem." is very interesting. I wonder why that is. I'll have to try that
on EmmaCunnan if she ever posts again. She's been gone now for a while.

Isn't that strange, Ciel.
I'm wide side-to-side on my own screen but only in the comments section. The
post is normal to me.

Thank You Everyone Who Responded
I so much appreciate all the comments on this post. I still don't understand why some bloggers have to scroll side to side and some don't. Neither do I know what to do. Everything someone has suggested does not seem to help. I have sent an email to Blogit and am waiting for an answer. I guess the river is waiting. LOL
My mom used to sing an old hillbilly song when something bothered her:
"I'm goin' down to the river now
to lay me down and die;
but if I find that the river's wet
I'll wait until it's dry.
Get along mule, don't you roll them eyes.
You can change a fool but a dog-gone mule
is a mule until he dies."

TAPS: If the problem of the formatting continues, just email Blogit, they will tell you how to correct.
On your article, I must say I mirror your frustration but if you use Microsoft you can ask them how to correct some of those problems. And don't get too flustered, by trial and error I learn a lot. You will too. I used to pay technicians for things I now work out for myself.

Yes, I've been having the same problem for a while now
but didn't say anything to you. Sorry. 
I usually go straight to the comment area and click on the post link from there. It fixes the problem.

Taps this is exactly what I see. I did a screen capture for you. I don't understand why it is so far over if you didn't mess with it. I change mine all the time to accommodate my side picture and main area, but maybe yours will work out on its own. Hubby is waiting, we need to go help his mother with an electrical outlet problem, thus I must hurry and post this. Take care and here is your Rose.

Yes, TAPS, your text box has widened. But only a little beyond the
edge of the screen. Sorry, I don't know how to fix that, but don't worry. It won't stop me from reading you. Maybe Blogit help could tell you how to fix it. :)pat

I think it has to do with the computer and the font they are using, I never have that problem as I have a large screen, there were a few in the past I had trouble with but not usually, maybe they need to check their font and their monitor

Whatever caused the problem - it's fixed. When I first read your post, I had to scroll back and forth - but then, as I clicked on the comment button to tell you about it, it had changed - back to normal! So you can rest easy, nobody is going to stop reading you (I would still be reading you no matter
how much scrolling I had to do...)

Taps, see the little button next to the close button? Try to click that and see if it makes the screen smaller. Let me know. I will check back here. Merkie
