I am using Windows 7 on a full HD screen in Chrome. I can duplicate your problem by using the control minus key combination making the type and window smaller. Are you reading this on a small screen? 27" BENQ RL monitor Icefisher. Mind you, I'm running it off a laptop but .......... I had the same problem with an up-spec desktop too. If MB stops using the <Return> key and lets the forum editor wrap the text, I should be fine but I couldn't ask him to do that. Nobody else has the problem (still puzzles me, being from an IT background). Appreciate your input but you need to get back to ice fishing. PS: I have a friend, a marine biologist, who swam with penguins in the Antarctic ** ** before they were all wiped out by a rogue iceberg/sheet.  Are both your systems on Windows 10? I noticed you mentioned Microsoft Edge. If so it might be part of how Microsoft is trying to evolve the desktop to better compatibility with phone screens. I can only get the effect by shrinking my window way down. At 50% and above it wraps correctly the next step 33% it wraps like your screenshot. p.s. I am a fisher but I have never been ice fishing except in this forum. |

Icefisher: Come to North Dakota next winter and I will take you ice fishing! It is great sport, and the fish from cold water are excellent! We could even head north to the GREAT WALLEY basin of Lake Winnipeg!
Come on up, we don't bite, but the fish do!

I'm Win 10 so I tried Edge to see if some native Micro$oft code might react differently; my main browser is Firefox. It seems that the problem is with actually using the carriage return, rather than let the forum editor do its thing. I'm happy to copy and paste to a text editor for long posts and will get some eye-strengthening exercise with shorter ones. PS: Be careful travelling in ND, Icefisher. Fargo (1996) |

Fargo (1996)Microsoft is trying desperately to create a one off platform for both desktop and mobile to compete with IOS and Android. So I am suspecting its an issue with some low level display code in Windows 10. I looked at MB's posts on my Android phone and indeed the phone size display shows his odd formatting as does my Windows 7 display when the display is shrunk down below 50%. Windows 10 must be displaying in some kind of phone mode, probably for the purpose of making applications more compatible between the desktop and the phone. |

Come on up, we don't bite, but the fish do! thanks for the invite. would love to give it a try. havent been in that region. as far east in the north i have been {short of new york} has been boise. never been to canada, only got to look at the border above seattle. |

Well, be sure and get your passport, or else we won't be going to Canada legally. |

Well, be sure and get your passport, or else we won't be going to Canada legally. I just got one recently. Got tired of being admonished by the border guards at the US/Mexican border when all I could show them was a California Drivers License. Figured eventually that would lead to cavity searches in secondary. |

thinkprogress.org/climate/2016/04/11/3767505/climate-change-making-droughts-drier-deluges-wetter/A deeply flawed new study tries to challenge the basic scientific understanding that “wet areas are likely to get wetter and dry areas drier in a warmer world.” This Nature article has been justifiably criticized for both its methodology and for ignoring a vast literature that contradicts it. “It is sad for the science,” when “papers like this gets published and get attention,” according to Kevin Trenberth, a leading expert on how climate change impacts the hydrological cycle. “This paper does some useful things but … the extrapolations, model evaluations and conclusions are not justified!”

www.investors.com/politics/editorials/father-of-global-warming-admits-it-used-to-be-hotter-than-it-is-now/Science: To listen to the climate change alarmist community, one would think that Earth has never been so warm as it is now. But it’s been warmer, and sea levels have been higher, facts that the leader of the movement acknowledges. James Hansen, the famed NASA scientist who stirred the climate scare when in 1988 he told a Senate committee that “global warming” — yes, he used those words — “is already happening now,” has never backed off his claims, despite the fact that he’s been demonstrably wrong. No one this side of Al Gore has had a larger impact on trafficking in fear and trying so hard to sow panic. The narrative since that day in 1988 is that Earth is entering a dangerous warm era created by man’s carbon dioxide emissions. Every heat wave, cold snap, drought, hurricane, heavy snow, torrential rain, and change in sea level has been supposedly caused by man. And all are allegedly unprecedented events

Time series of sea-level rise are fitted by a sinusoid of period ~ 60 years, confirming the cycle reported for the global mean temperature of the earth. This cycle appears in phase with the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO). The last maximum of the sinusoid coincides with the temperature plateau observed since the end of the 20th century. The onset of declining phase of AMO, the recent excess of the global sea ice area anomaly and the negative slope of global mean temperature measured by satellite from 2002 to 2015, all these indicators sign for the onset of the declining phase of the 60-year cycle. Once this cycle is subtracted from observations, the transient climate response is revised downwards consistent with latest observations, with latest evaluations based on atmospheric infrared absorption and with a general tendency of published climate sensitivity. The enhancement of the amplitude of the CO2 seasonal oscillations which is found up to 71% faster than the atmospheric CO2 increase, focus on earth greening and benefit for crops yields of the supplementary photosynthesis, further minimizing the consequences of the tiny anthropogenic contribution to warming. www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012825216300277 |

science.sciencemag.org/content/263/5147/641Abstract Verification and validation of numerical models of natural systems is impossible. This is because natural systems are never closed and because model results are always nonunique. Models can be confirmed by the demonstration of agreement between observation and prediction, but confirmation is inherently partial. Complete confirmation is logically precluded by the fallacy of affirming the consequent and by incomplete access to natural phenomena. Models can only be evaluated in relative terms, and their predictive value is always open to question. The primary value of models is heuristic. Note the author, who now thinks climate models are accurate it seems.

Roy Spencer has a nice article on the passing of William Gray a hurricane researcher and sceptic. www.drroyspencer.com/2016/04/william-gray-hurricane-researcher-and-skeptic-dead-at-86/He relates a personal experience of a comment by Gray during a conference where excited researchers were demonstrating a model that created hurricanes out of tropical disturbances. Gray according to Spencer: "stood up and asked in his Jimmy Stewart-esque way, “All you modelers keep showing your models producing a hurricane out of a disturbance…but that usually doesn’t happen…where are the model results showing that a hurricane doesn’t develop?”" There is a nice lesson in that. |
