The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Question about Firefox

I've not been a Firefox user for a  long time but I must say I really like it by now. The only thing that bugs me is that there's no slide bar thingy at the bottom. I don't have to use it that often but It's annoying for pictures with a slightly bigger size than my screen resolution.... Was just wondering if firefox really doesn't have a scrollbar at the bottom.. If it does, where can I get it?

That happens to me all of the time! I usually just do a select all copy-paste to read the text and right-click 'view image' to see the picture, but I'd definitely be interested in knowing the answer as well.

Easy solution if you're on a desktop.  Just click the middle scroll button on the mouse while the firefox window is selected and it'll allow you to scroll over.  Other than that I have no idea how to make it scroll over.

And sorry for that huge pic there.  I normally don't do that but alas......I can't even reach the edit button to change it now since I posted it on my laptop. :p I'd have to get on my desktop with the 22inch monitor to see the edit button.

You can use the arrow keys on any computer to scroll the window, too.

But yep, I have the same problem on my computers with Firefox here but I've never really noticed it since I almost never use Firefox and I have a big monitor. :p

No idea on what the fix to that is.  A quick google search didn't help at all but I'll keep looking around.

I've had the same problem and just live with it.  If I want to really see the whole image by highlighting some text and trying to move it to the right. It's a huge hassle since clicking the scroll button to get the arrows does not work on this forum very well.  So I usually just live with whatever I can see of the image.
