Why does my journal or Friends page suddenly display incorrectly or require me to scroll?
Problems displaying your journal or Friends page usually result from one of two main problems.
First, you or someone on your Friends list may have posted a large image, long string of text, or a poll with a large text entry box. All of these things can cause the width of the page to be larger than your screen, so that you have to scroll horizontally to see all of it.
Second, you or someone on your Friends list may have posted HTML that is incorrectly written. A quiz or other external content that is pasted in to a journal entry is the most common cause of this problem. This frequently affects journal layout severely and may cause other entries (especially those following the entry containing incorrect HTML) not to display at all.
To avoid these issues:
* Use the tag when posting large images, long strings of text, or external content like quizzes. See http://www.JournalFen.net/support/faqbr
* Occasionally enter a space in any long strings of text.
* Shorten long text.
* Limit the size of any picture posted in an entry.
* Limit your poll's text entry boxes to a smaller size. You will still be able to enter the same amount of text in a smaller box; the amount of text entered is controlled by the "maxlength" property of the text box, which can be up to 255 characters.
If the entry is yours, you can edit it by following the instructions given at http://www.JournalFen.net/support/faqbr
If the entry is on your Friends page, you could ask the person who posted it to change the entry by editing it, adding an tag, or removing it altogether (for information on entry deletion, see http://www.JournalFen.net/support/faqbr
Alternatively, you can can create a custom Friends group (http://www.JournalFen.net/support/faqb
