After inquiring on another thread about reducing the line length of posts, I decided to go to the "User CP" tab to see if I could change this setting. I did find a possible answer for both this problem and a problem I (and others) have had with not being able to find old posts when using the "Search" tab.
Addressing the old postings missing from searches first, there is a setting in the User CP that limits how old of a thread you can see. This most likely filters out those older posts we remember but can't find in searches. To change this:
1. Click on "User CP"
2. Click on "Edit Options"
3. Go down the page to the "Thread Display Options"
4. In that window find the "Default Thread Age Cutoff" setting
5. Change that setting to "Show all threads"
6. Click on "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page.
The easy way to change the line length is to change the font size of your posting. Be sure that you are using the "Enhanced interface - WYSIWYG Editing" selection in the "Miscellaneous Options" "Message Editor Interface" section at the bottom of the "User CP" page. Then you can change your font size from this: (Default)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
to this (2 size font)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
or even this (4 size font)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This should help with paragraph readability.
