Arduous Continuous Left-Right Scrolling

I have found the endless scrolling left to right in FireFox and IE
annoying when a single picture is to big on that page.

But lately a new problem has cropped up
in all browser makers/versions I use.

Look at the below two pics.

They are the left,
then the right.

Why is this happening ?

It is a new,
and happens on all my machines.

So I would like to feel I can rule out
a machine/OS/Browser specific problem.

The title line is repeated needlessly...

I have the same problems, the pictures are aligned on the right side of the text, making the pages exrtemely wide an hard to oversea.

And why that strange upload system, why can we not just add also the pictures as a HTML adress ?

Does anyone have a solution to stop
these forum pages from loading so wide?

It makes them unreadable for the most part.

Having to scroll left to right
for every single written line
is as the title clearly indicates,
Arduous...

It started with big pictures,
but now even text only pages
can be ubber-wide now too.

Stefan's suggestion of FireFox was a good one,
I do like it better than Internet Destroyer
and a few others I have too.

But even IE's versions that support
"Auto-Resize" of pictures fail to correct
the large picture pages from sprawling.

Do I need a script blocker to stop this?

Thanks for any assistance

Except for the under-score line being in the wrong place, which is
probably a browser mathematics problem, there really is no solution
currently. The problem is that these Web pages need to fit on both
cell phone screens all the way up to those folks that can afford to
run two or three LCD screens side by side as their system monitor.
The Web Site BBS software starts out at a normal low width but then
picture graphics causes the posts to widen out. You can see threads
that start off narrow then pictures start expanding the thread width.
Finally, the BBS software can't take anymore width and begins adding
secondary scroll bars to keep the graphics within limits. The person making
these posts may not even be aware that someone out there is already
using the primary image scroll bars. Usually these kinds of problems go
away with time, but for now it's a problem. My recommendation is simply
to point out to people to limit the screen width of their post. Especially
to limit their attached graphics size. These graphics don't really need
to as big as they are, usually. You might research ways they can reduce
the image sizes, so they can see all of this in one place. With any enforced
script changes one risks downgrading and compatibility issues in the (near)
future.

With all respect,

I visit a lot of websites, fora's and a likes, and its a little bit worse over here (lay out concerned) 

So it is possible, but i can also understand it would be expensive to have a script rewritten or something.
