ElkMonster - thanks for that, i found some specs in there. first, i changed the popup to this more current module: NetLoadModule popup2-2.1.6

it was using 2-2.0

in the docs for 2-2.1.6 i found settings for popupscrollspeed - was able to fix that, it zooms now - and PopupAdaptiveWidth; however, apparently the syntax for that is a boolean expression linked in the "misc.html" doc for that module, but i don't have any misc.html doc so i don't know how to enter the bool it's looking for.

any more tips?

thanks again!
