We couldn't believe it! We wondered if it has anything to do with my new wide screen? If so, is there anything we can do to the settings make us look slimmer on screen? Or, do we just need to face facts?

It just occurred to me ... what a twit I am ... I have a laptop (that isn't widescreen) that I can test it on. On my way to the moment of truth!

On the one hand it's a disappointment, but on the other hand I'd want my money back if my new wide-screen made me fatter.

It was that Flukey's fault making us eat all that steak.

If you´re not going to stop saying that, I´ll pay a visit to either of you, so you can see what fat is!! Although I´ve lost almost 11 pounds now.

Although I´ve lost almost 11 pounds now. Good for you, Cass! I still want to know if wide screens make you look fatter though out of interest.

My sister has a wide screen tv,which i watched Corrie when i was over there. Everyone looked much larger. Julia- The photos of us with Flukey looked ok. Honest! on David's computer,and also on mine.

Women But its prob something to do with the resolution of your screen. The wide screen one will have a different resolution than the other pc's. So really, the widescreen one is stretching the photo's.
