Nope, just keep my browser window set at 800x600, because otherwise lots of stuff is in such long lines that it's tiresome to read. Well-designed pages wrap to any size window.
Be careful with LDS data though. It can be entered by any family or church member and many times their information is less than accurate. Always check sources like census, birth, death, and marriage records before you accept LDS data as factual. Jus' my 2 pennies!

A million new names added to familysearch.org every day!
150,000 Mormon volunteers working at home are adding about a million new names each day to the genealogical/family history online databases that are available free of charge to anyone of any faith with an internet connection anywhere in the world.
The Mormons shoiuld not do this. Thankfully, they don't have me, but they do have my brother and have posted his SS#. I guess they don't care about identity theft nor about privacy. They are putting their interests above everyone else's.

Millions of people would disagree with you. If you think something is out of order on an LDS website, send a feedback email or call and point it out, I'm sure they'll make needed corrections.

I have to emphatically agree with you.
Ultimately, I've had to delete and/or correct any and all information whose source has been from that website, as there was just too much misinformation. Furthermore, I can now spot every other family tree on Rootsweb that has relied on them for info regarding my lineage, as they ALL have the same errors.
I have used it a few times and even gone to the LDS library down the street but many of their files are actually in Salt Lake City and need to be ordered through the library. The volunteer at LDS "highly recommended" I go to Utah to search the library there after she found out I was Episcopalian...
