viewing posted schematics on this site

[Ivan Vegvary]

I am unable to view schematics posted on this site. I have changed to the recommended mono-font and still no luck. The symbols just don't line up.
Using Windows 7 Professional and Google's Chrome browser.
All help appreciated.

I use Thunderbird as a usenet client. Not the best one around, but it's

free and it shows monospaced content perfectly fine.

I'm actually frustrated enough with the state-of-the-art newsreaders
(both web based and native clients), that I've considered creating my
own. Only problem is I lack the time to do so.

"State of the art" generally comports with "crap". Observe Windows 7
:-(

I been using Agent as my newsreader since forever. I'm now up to
version 6. Really has changed much all these years.

I'll point my finger at google. (but I could be wrong.) Are you
using the new google groups or the old one?

Hmm well my 'test' looked the same in the old and new google groups...

Google groups defaults to a variable width font. It also removes
what it considers 'excess spaces'. On the right side of a displayed
message is a curved arrow pointing up, and to the left. To the right of
that is a downward pointing arrowhead. Click that, the 'Show original'
to open a new tab that displays the message in whatever fixed font your
browser uses. It also has the full header information.

I'm using Win7 with IE10 and its default Windows Live Mail (WLM) news
reader. It uses a variable width font for plain text and there seems to be
no way to change this except by changing to RTF and using Courier (or other
monospace) font. Instead of fooling with that, I just copy/paste the ASCII
ART schematic into a text file.

I prefer using LTSpice for simple schematics as it allows for much clearer
symbols, as well as simulation, of course, and subsequent editing. I also
like to take a screenshot (Alt-FN-End) and copy into Paint and save as PNG
and upload to my server like this:

http://enginuitysystems.com/pix/48V-320V_DCDC_Bidirectional-1.png

I also sometimes put the ASC file there as well:

Single-line paragraphs instead of format-flowed like the rest of us,
suggests he's using the new one.

The new one now has view original so it's usable for reading
ASCII-art schematics, you just need to know how.

Thank you Group !!!
The "show original" option in Google Chrome worked just fine. So did the "copy to notepad" method that was suggested.

Thanks again,
