Good afternoon, Crow and thanks for the posts. Info as follows:

LINKS

1] The scroll bar typically kicks in when someone tries to post a really long link. The best way to avoid this is to use our "link" button at the top of every post.

Specifically, if you want to post the phrase:

"Take a look at the following map" just highlight the word "map" (or highlight the whole sentence) and you will see the chain link button go live at the top of the post box (same line where you see B I U)

A box will open asking you to paste the link. Paste it and hit OK. The word "map" will now be the link to the map. Simple as that.

This should solve 95% of your scrolling bar issues.

2] External links. Refer to #1

3] Home and logout buttons.

You are not seeing half the buttons, they are actually designed that way to reduce clutter.."please do not adjust your set" . As Red says "you just have to aim a little better" :-)

Regards,
George
