Just wondering... for those of you who have older computer monitors or ones with a smaller screen, does it bother you to have to scroll left and right to view everything that's on the page?

I have a small monitor and I don't have to do that. It automatically fits to the screen size.

I find it very annoying. I don't have a small screen, but sometimes on e-bay, the descriptions are very wide!

You can change the size of the web page to fit your screen. Go to View, Zoom, then you can choose, Zoom In or Out, or pick a percentage, or customize with a specific number percentage. Helps for reading some pages with smaller fonts.

Yes, it is annoying. But I don't have to do it all the time, just occasionally

Control + or - sometimes changes the viewed size, or you can zoom in for a closer look.

No, I have a large screen. But what DOES irritate the dickens out of me is the type of forwarded messages that have about three HUGE words on each and every darn line. Takes me ages to get to the bottom and by then I don't care in the least what it says.
Most of the time I go over it and reduce the letters to about size 14, much easier to read.
