I've brought this up before, but I really need to do it again. Maybe it's a setting I have wrong or something.
Anyway, I have this problem on my work computer (IE7) and my home computer (IE8) and it only happens on this forum. It's been like this since the forum upgrade.
When somebody posts an image that is too wide for the screen, the scroll bar to control horizontal scroll doesn't appear on my browser window, it appears at the bottom of the post.
The problem is that if the post contains lots of text or multiple pictures, I have to do a vertical scroll to the bottom of the post to get to my horizontal scroll. So, I can't just scroll across the picture. I have to look at the left side of the picture, then verticle scroll to the bottom of the post, then horizontal scroll to the right side of the post, then vertical scroll back up to see the right side of the picture. It's highly annoying.
Here's what I mean.
Here's a thread Cheese Grits posted. Notice how there is no horizontal scroll bar visible anywhere.

Now, if I use the vertical scroll to get to the bottom of the post there is a horizontal scroll there, but I now can't see the picture at the top of the post, so I can't just look at the picture and scroll across to see it...I have to scroll over, then scroll back up.

When I've brought this up before, it seems that nobody else had the issue. Both Mrs. P and I have it and we both HATE it. Is it just a forum setting somewhere, or an IE setting? I don't think it's an IE setting because all other forums I visit display the scroll bar at the bottom of the window instead of the bottom of the post.
