    Weird message display?

    Just registered. I’m baffled why the first threads I’ve looked at all have the same serious display problem. The initial post is confined to a narrow strip, about 1 cm wide, the rest of the message area being empty. Yet the replies are all formatted normally!

    Here's a screenshot:

    HOWEVER...it seems to be down to Waterfox & Firefox, because all posts look OK in Chrome.

    Edit: No, it’s just the same, or worse, on my iPad with Safari.Do others not get this problem? Makes the site almost unusable.

    So I guess that's a No, and I'm the only one getting this problem?

    I didn't see a problem. Maybe edit the pic with an arrow.

    Thanks both. Here's an example of what I see when viewing the post I made a few minutes ago.

    I occasionally get it on my phone.
    And yeah, it's seriously annoying.

    No idea what it's down to. I've used pretty much every browser and usually have no issues.
    Firefox is my default, but I use chrome on the phone and safari on the old ipad.

    I'm more inclined to think it's something on the forum than any particular browser as it's fairly intermittent. .

    Thanks, glad it's not just me! But it would be good to see it fixed, as it's a bit of a demotivator for posting here
