How to fit in Safari?

My browser (Safari 4.1) is cutting off the left side of posts, so I can't see the names of people posting. Others have had similar problems with IE and Google Chrome, but the remedies noted in this forum don't apply to Safari. Do we have any Mac people here who know how to fix this?

Thanks,
Dave

I've tried Safari 5.0 on a Win7-64 system and the problem appears there as well. I do not think that this is a browser issue, but a result of the way lefora codes their pages (for compatibility with IE6).

IE8 works when in Compatibility View, but not otherwise. No joy with Chrome.

If one were especially clever, a workaround may be possible. I've suggested to Lou to take the problem up with the landlord (lefora).

Sorry I can't help. Sure you don't want to try Firefox?

Thanks for the info Keith.

This problem makes me appreciate all the boards where I don't have any issues with Safari. To be honest, I have a little resentment towards the programmers responsible for this problem. I want to let go of that.

I think I will switch browers. Safari is okay but nothing special. I've already tried Firefox on my previous computer. It was okay and maybe I'll switch back to it. I'm also thinking about trying Google Chrome which I've heard is pretty good.

You'll see the same issue if you switch to Google Chrome...unless you install the IE add-on.

To explain the problem but not to defend it, the old version of MS Internet Explorer, ver 6, was not completely standards compliant. As a result, it displayed content differently than it should have. Since so many people used (and still use) that browser, pages had to be tweaked so that the desired result could be achieved. These folks are now being punished for trying to do the right thing. Since modern browsers are now doing a much better, more consistent job of displaying content, it's only a matter of time before webmasters catch up.

In the meantime....

Thanks for bearing with us. Hopefully the benefits outweigh the BS.

All the best.
