Scrolling Left to Right

I have noticed and I am sure there are others, that often while reading a post are forced to have to scroll Left to Right in order to read the text.
While I do realize an extra long URL will cause this scrolling the biggest culprit is graphics/photos. Whether it be a large single pic or multiple pics, anything over 600 pixels wide will cause this problem to any reader with a smaller screen resolution.

While not mentioning any names I have found a number of examples...
  • 2 pics each 500 pixels wide for a total width of 1000
  • 1 pic 448 pixels, 2 maps, 1 at 329 pxls, 1 at 271 pxls totaling 1039 pixels
  • 1 photo of 654
    For examples 1 and 2 simply Stack the graphics instead of side by side.
    For example 3 the graphic should be reduced to 600 pixels wide.
    There are many more examples.
While all of the above will appear fine at a Screen Resolutin of 1152 or higher, anyone using a lesser Screen Resolution such as 640 x 480 or 800 X 600 will have to scroll left to right to view these graphics but worse yet is any of the 640 x 480 or 800 X 600 will have to scroll left to right each time they read a sentence in it's entirety.

At this point everything you are reading here appears as it should with no left to right scrolling BUT if there is a reply posted with the examples mentioned above you will no longer be able to read this lengthy post without scrolling left to right to read each and every word in the sentence.

BTW- I only just started noticing this since in the past week I have been using my daughter's 'puter with a screen resolution of 800 X 600. My own 'puter is set at a much higher resolution and therefore everything seems fine.

Another BTW-As I do run a much higher screen resolution on my home computer this left to right scrolling does not effect me one bit but it DOES effect any MOCer using 640, 800, and even 1024 pixels wide and it is for their sake that you should try to correct this annoyance.

One more BTW-If any of you have a photo or graphic that you would like reduced DO NOT hesitate sending me a PM or Email. I'll be happy to help.
