Hi Albert,

I can perfectly see your reason to change the board orientation. But I 
think Joern's suggestion with an extra button in the toolbar is better.

And please:
I strongly recommend you read something about posting and quoting styles. 
It's very difficult to read your posts since it's not distinguishable 
between your text and earlier opinions, you top post and full quote 
(however not in this reply). You'd do your readers a big favour.
