Width of threads

Why are some threads too wide to read, even when I slide the bottom bar right over, while other threads can be read without sliding the bar over at all. Is there any way to correct the wide threads?

That happened with a thread of mine about John Keats. I tried to delete it, but the delete option had disappeared. Even GR couldn't do it at the time.

st ... ? ... :-)

GR deleted it eventually - without telling me, they posted on it using my account, with the word testing. Someone thought, naturally, it was me. It was a few weeks later that they managed to delete it.

Well thanks for telling me how it happens, but what I really want to know is, how do I read wide threads that have been started by somebody else? It is so frustrating that I have no idea what somebody is talking about because part of each line is off the edge of the page.
BTW, girls, I wont be going to bed for about 7 hrs yet, it is only 3.30 pm here in New Zealand.

As I said before

open tools then click on encoding

change setting to 'right to left document'

and you will see the delete.

I can see all the adds and my delete so you should be able to.

But can I delete another persons thread, or should that be topic. For example can anybody else delete this whole topic or am I (or the GR people) the only one who can do it? And anyway I dont want to delete the wide topics, I want to READ them.

Thank you, must remember that the next time somebody has a wide page.
