Text wrapping needed in forums

[Shintaro]

I am sure I can provide an example of this. If I keep on typing eventually the text will go off the sceen and (I) have to use the horizontal scrollbar to read the text, instead of the text wrapping around to a new line when it goes off the screen. It is very frustrating to have to use the horizontal scrollbar on every line of text I read. It's basically a HTML issue. By turning word wrap on, the horizontal scrollbar dissapears, and all you see is the vertical scrollbar & the webpage.......

and yes I am taking this example of a long sentence too far.......

[Shintaro]

before anyone comments, it's wrapping fine at the moment. I'll try and find out why it's working now, and if i can provide the conditions under which the problem occurs.

I think you'll probably find that its caused by someone putting in a large image on the page somewhere.

It doesn't wrap for continous words or long urls.

Just hook your computer up to a 50 inch plasma screen and run your display at 3200 x 2400 :P

If someone puts a picture in a thread that is wider than your res will allow, it wont fit into the screne and the horz bar will happen.

Who gives a shit?

[wombat]

solution: use spaces (or scientific notation if you're using stupid numbers)
and for links, just use this method [ url="put url here"]the link text[/url] (without the space in the first tag).
That way, no uber wide posts, and no more complaints :) .
