Another thing that happens, some people are ignoring LaMont's rule about the avatars. LaMont says that the avatars shouldn't be more than 120 pixels wide, some people are grossly exceeding that, and it pushes the whole thing over to the right. As an example, there are oversized avatars in this message string, to check the size of an avatar, right click on it, and select properties, look down the list and it will give you the size of the avatar in pixels. Digital cameras usually come with software to edit photos, photo scanners come with the software also, if anyone doesn't have a program to edit photos, do a search, there are free programs available to resize photos.
Several people have mentioned that it is annoying to have to scroll over to the right to read posts, if we keep the avatars within the limits LaMont has asked for, and keep the pictures a reasonable size, that will not happen.
