My solution to facebook Zynga game viewing problem

Some of you might have experienced this problem I have experienced with zynga games via facebook... it might be cafe world, Farmville etc.

Essentially, the right side of the screen is cut off... leaving you only a partial view of the gaming environment...

Farmville
Cafe World

When it started to happen back weeks if not months ago, it happened when I was using Chrome.

After googling around, I found out that it is a known issue and the official remedy provided by Zynga was to "use a different browser."

Then, when I was in Shanghai, it also occurred when using Firefox with Farmville.

I did try to change the screen resolution for the computer in general but it didn't do a thing to resolve the issue.

Ended up, out of desperation, I discovered a simple resolution to resolve the viewing problem for both Chome and Firefox..... naming... change the zooming of the browser back to default or to 100%.

Firefox

Chrome



I don't know when the zooming parameters got changed and I surely don't know whether this solution might work on your end....

Yet, it solved the problem on my end and I hope it will help you, too...

RSS Feed

Testing out what would happen in the RSS Feed if I cancel a posting right after I publish it....


Like email... once sent... no recall function... 8-O lol

Ratology

Got bored with the groundhog day of recovering all over again, I decided to try something new out...

I created yet another blog... Ratology... pulling postings from Ratology Reloaded, Down with meds recovered and my private blog Ratology at heal in one place.

The process is simple.  You expert the blogs and save them onto your computer.  You create a new blog... populating it with data from the other blogs by importing those files you just downloaded through blogger (check here for more detailed on this simple process).

Voila...

One thing I like best about this importing and exporting thing is that, if you had assigned labels consistently, blogger automatically consolidates postings from all sources under the same label... On a second thought, if you want to differentiate postings by original sources as well, you might have to make sure the labels in the original sources are different and do the consolidation manually afterward.

Speaking of old wine in the new bottle... The story of my life...sort of like... so very same old same old that I will die of boredem before pain or anything else already specified gazillion a time. 8-O lol 8-X
