Random question and thought - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

... but I still would like to ask it, to keep from wondering: Does your current TFP page (of which I'm guessing is actually in this thread) have a scrolling-manipulation bar? The ever-present little right-hand-side of the screen tool, on every single browser, viewable on nearly every single webpage that has info below the sight line currently viewing - that thing?

Mine seems to have taken a hiatus, and I'm not sure when that was. I'm not complaining as I never use the darn thing, but is this TFP-specific, or has something gone awry with my personal browser? (I just checked the other thirteen tabs I currently have open, and they all still have their scrolling bars.)

Perhaps a more relevant question might be: did the TFP ever even have the option to have one these things be visible? I'm sure on the splash page (TFP) I've never seen that third-inch bar before.

Uh... I think you mean the scroll bar on the right of the browser? TFP should have that, and I can't think of anything that might have been changed recently to make yours disappear. What browser are you using?

It's back now, somehow.

But yesterday there was just a third-inch void the same color as the TFP Green template where, presumably, the bar should have been, but wasn't. Weird.

Maybe there's something wrong inside my browser that makes the 12th tab opened lose its scrolling manipulation bar. I just opened up this webpage, and come to find out that it has no right-handed scroll bar present, for whatever reason.

This is of no concern as a whole, I suppose.

Your browser was not maximized, just sized to fill the screen. I know mozilla does that. So if you drag something or click accidentally you moved it slightly to the right hiding the scroll bar.
