the horizontal scrolling has nothing to do with how the board is designed, it has to do with what screen res you are running at. If you are running at 1024x768 and someone posts a picture the same size, then of course you will have to scroll over to see it because the rest of the board is there too. If you are like me though and run 1600x1200, then I never have to scroll horizontally. I may be stupid but I am pretty sure this is how it works. :whistle:

well actually neowin is designed to run at 800 i believe. (minimum) thus making the page accessible to basically everyone with a computer. considering the 12" mac models max out at 1024 and this is a mac forum it would only seem logical that you would want them to be able to view the thread without troubles. i don't know about you, but when i increase my res i do it to be able to have more workspace, not so i can run my web browser at fullscreen to show more whitespace. sure you can say it's all a matter of resolution, but when people are at the max of their computer and still can't view the thread without scrolling sideways, you have problems.

not to mention the huge pics make this thread load slow even when i'm on a cable modem.

of course this is just my opinion.

Yes I agree with you, but the thing is, is that if you have a computer that max's out at 1024x768 and you have to scroll sideways to view the thread, then you will probably have to scroll anyway when looking at the image. So when you click on the image to see it you will still have to scroll. Although it would be nice for people not to have to scroll within in the thread itseld that way all the text stays normal, so that people do not have to scroll to read. It would also be nicer to have 640 thumbnails as I am on 56k sometimes and it would make it load alot faster. I doubt any of this will ever happen though...

and I do think that we should start a yearly thread because the images not showing up at the beginning is kinda pointless IMHO. :unsure:

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
