Hi folks

I recently changed my browser from IE to Mozilla Firefox and so far I love the loading speed, ease of use, tabbing and blah, blah, blah...

What is happening to my Armorama page is that the entire site is now moved over (ie, not centered anymore), the the far left side of my monitor. In IE it was centered now it's moved over to the left. I have a wide screen monitor so it's a bit of an inconvenience. Anybody out there know how to fix this?


Thanks;

Bob


ps - I don't want to get into a IE vs Firefox war here, just looking for a bit of tech help.

Bob I use firefox and I have not messed with any settings and the page is central, and so I am afraid I don't know what setting is caussing this issue.

You could do what I do, which is not to run your applications in full screen mode. I am using Chrome lately and it also left-justifies the site. This isn't that odd of a setup for web sites actually. Many mainstream sites do this as they position elements on the page absolutely and trying to center position and do this is more of a challenge.

I just hold "Ctrl" then hit "+" and enjoy the larger type>
Actually it zooms it and fills the screen better for me ---

Bob, if you find a fix please let me know. I occasionally use Firefox and have the same issue as you. Thanks

I'm probably on the slow boat here but, it's only left justified for me on the sites that have the new "Browse Sites' feature, such as Armorama does. The non-updated sites like AutoModeler the page is centered.
