Jes'A Weird Wonderment on Posting...

Lately, on this new computer and on my previous box, when I compose a post the actual post comes out looking weird, eg some sentences are long, full width of page, others are shorter and it does not "look" anything like how it was composed.

Is there some fix or setting I can use so the post "looks & reads" like how I composed it?

I realize this is not the biggest problem of the day, .

Jes'curious.

I hate to ask the obvious, but when you are typing in the box, you aren't hitting "enter" when you get close to the edge are you? That would make it look similiar to this: typing typing typing
typing typing.

The post to which I'm replying looks fine on my screen. This is the kind of problem I like. I get enough drama with the CEO and her "Days" family.

Matrix: Yeah, I do hit "enter" to make the column width "tighter". Just a foilble as I like to read more vertically and less long horizontal lines. But, I suspect you are on damoney, as I am typing this to the right end of box and resisting the urge to hit enter and make the post "look narrower" in the message box.

Thanks for the info...I realize it was of very little consequence, but it was bugging me that I'd "compose" a post and it would look like I slept through English Comp 101, lol!

MyCEO is menopausal, so all we get here is hot flashes and night sweats, though she is like a personal heater on cool/cold, window open nights, in the rack. That, and she's the most even tempered a person I have Ever known.
Thanks again...

That thin air gets to the best of us sometimes...

BTW, we have to use up Jeff's bandwidth somehow. Post on, Poster!
