Rick,

Thanks for the post.

In hindsight, using this site was not a good example, because, as your picture shows, it fills only about 3/4 of the width of the screen.

Screen size should not matter, it will just be 3/4 of a larger or smaller screen.

The problem I am having is that this site is even less, say only 2/3.

And other web sites that DO fill the entire width on my work computer are only opening that same 2/3 of the screen at home.

I've got a new computer and new internet access at the same time, so I don't know who to chase in order to find the problem.

For instance:

I go to disney.com and the site fills the screen.

At home, the address bar and toolbar at the top go the entire screen width, but the disney website is only about 2/3 the screen width. And it's centered.

It's very unusual, and I would think if my resolution was set wrong that the entire Internet Explorer screen (including tool bars, etc) would be smaller.

I know I'll get to the solution, but I was hoping that someone here could shed some light.

Thanks.

now you add more to the mix. same sites different size pictures.

i would call the computer people first. if it's new, you should have access to free help. if the computer at work is showing the same website and filling the screen but not at home, you would be hard pressed to blame the website.

Yo tailgator:

Same thing with me, two different computers two different monitors (15"+17") and only 2/3 use of window at c-bid. I also used three different computers (my friends) and same thing 2/3 use of window at c-bid.

Just remember it's not the size of the window that counts, it's how you use it, he he.

Tailgater I have a 21" monitor and i'm running it at 1280 X 1024 res. and all of C-Bids pages only take up 1/2 the screen. It depends on what resolution the web site is using that determines the size screen your seeing. If you were running the same resolution as they do then it would fit the whole screen. Hope this helps explain it.

Happy smoking

I've NEVER had a draw problem with a Criollo ... my guess is they're too moist ... check your humidity level and if it's not high, consider storing your cigars at 65 rather than 70 ... that oughta take care of the draw problems...

PS like Steve said, draw problem usually relates to humidity of humidor! I run my big one between 65-68%!
