Problem with monitors

Hi all,

I am having trouble with two of my monitor displays.(These displays, show my banned items on my server). Now the problem that I am having is that the text is disappearing of the screens until I break a monitor and replace it.
my monitor is 5wide by 6 high.
This is my code I am using

local w,h = term.getSize()

local function printCenter(line)
  local width = string.len(line)
	if width < w then
		  local x,y = term.getCursorPos()
		  term.setCursorPos(w/2 - width/2,y)
	end
  print(line)
end

printCenter 'Banned Items'
printCenter ''
print([[Abyss Helmet   Anchor Cart	Black Hole Band
Blaze Rods	   Block Breaker  Builder

printCenter 'and staff will not refund the items'

you want a at the end.

Have you considered that you might be trying to print too much text on the monitor? You sure are printing a lot and if we assume that there are 2 lines of text per monitor block, from 6 monitor blocks, you can only print 24 lines of text. But here you are definitely printing more. Also putting commas between item names one the same line will help users distinguish the items. What you can do to resolve this is to make the monitors "scroll" down slowly. One easy and cheap way of doing this is, for the first 24 or so lines of text (Try to find it out using getSize()) then slowly printing each and every individual line after that.

also it works for me!

>.> damn it, my bad forgot the / sorry


The text fits and there is almost a full monitor down the bottom, the text displays just over a line on the bottom monitor. But the text will vanish and then I have to break one of the top monitors to get it back.

Tried using signs? XD jk,but it could be you have too many lines on a moniter,just use commas between your listed items like the guy earlier suggested

yeah im trying to move away from signs :P/>. I have removed part of the code and it still isnt working. there is a whole monitor down the bottom.
