Hello,
I'm new to the boards and a problem I seem to be having (I'm sure easily
solved) is that all my posts are being alligned to a very narrow margin which
makes them bleed down and is rather an eye sore where I notice others
posts flow out to the edge of the open area. What setting might I change to
format it to flow more width-wise?

The source shows you have br's (line breaks) after every line. Are you putting these in, or creating the post in an editor then pasting it into the PA Message Post area. If not, what browser are you using?

[Update] I think you may be entering at the end of message box area when you get to the right margin, instead of letting wordwrap handle line flow?

You know what, I'm not. Just writing out past the margin and bleeding to the
next line yet it comes out all constrained. Could it be an issue with Safari?

Possibly. Try Opera or firefox. You can put as many browsers on as you like without upsetting the system. I personally prefer Opera
[edit] It may just be a setting in Safari- look for settings that deal with wordwrap

I remember one other forum member having this problem some time ago, and he was using a Mac. I *think* it was DallasBryan, but can't remember for certain.
