Doug,
I usually go to the site, click on new posts, then right click and open them in a new window. The one thing that would be helpful is if that window would open fully without me having to click again on the middle box in the upper left hand corner. Is there anyway to make this happen automatically?
Thanks
Dana

THat is a browser setting - typically the browser opens the window the way it was last opened

Opening Internet Explorer Full Size

Ever notice sometimes you right-click on a link and open a new window and it's not full screen? This usually occurs because IE remembers the last window size when closed. Many times a background pop-up will do this too, if it is the last window closed. To resize the window and regain control:

Close all instances of Internet Explorer except for one.
Right-click on a link in the page and select: "Open in New Window"
Close the first browser window using the [ X ] (upper right corner)
Resize the window manually by dragging the sides to the desired size.
Note: Do NOT click the Maximize button, you must do it manually.
Hold down the Ctrl key and click the Close button (upper right)
[Exception]
In some cases the "Remember last window size" info becomes corrupted in the Registry.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Window_Placement"=

To reset the "Window_Placement" entry to default. You can download a small reg file to reset (to default) and correct this behavior.

Download: ResetWindowPlacement.reg [right-click and select: "Save Target As"]
To use: right-click and select: Merge - Ok the prompt and reboot.

When all else fails, paste the below line into Start | Run
javascript:window.open(screen.availWidth,screen.av ailHeight)
Note: then make sure the above window is the last one closed.
