that whenever I copy and paste a sevens article from word to the forum, I end up screwing up the thread by making it so that we need to scroll across the page? Can it be fixed up at admin end as I know it p!sses me off, so it must pi$$ others off.

Move aside, oh Green one... 8)

Backpacker. Its to with the formatting in word. It has source codes that stuffs up other formats. Sometimes these come out as weird looking characters and other times they are hidden.

The solution is to copy and paste your word article into good old Notepad, then check for any spacing issues, and then cut and paste from Notepad into the Forum.

Notepad, because of it's simplicity, removes the weird shit.

I have a notepad? That sounds easier than typing 4 words a minute. So, if I go back into the game thread, edit the post, copying from notepad, will it fix up the thread?

Yep, everyone has Notepad in windows.
If it doesn't work, it was the Jolly Green Giant's idea. :^o
