Too wide forums

Many of the threads in this forum are extremely difficult to read at normal resolution (800x600) because the lines are wider than the screen. To need to scroll horizontally continually back and forth to read messages is an enormous burden. This forum is a nice idea, but this technical flaw is so great I'm already about to give up on it. Can this be fixed so the forum is usable?

 

All table widths are set to 90%. They should resize to fit your screen. I tested with 13, 15 and 17 inche monitors at different resolutions to make sure there wasn't a problem. I didn't find any unless someone posted a rather long URL. In that case the software over rides the width so not to break the link.

There's a way for users to include URLs so that they don't stretch the tables. Of course, this is documented in the FAQ, but many people may not have read all of that. It goes like this:

[u r l=http://some.really.long/url.html]a description</font color=blue>[/url]

(write without the spaces: http;//www.example.com/very/long/.../path/ending/here.html</font color=blue>

As if you hadn't enough work with this already, eh? /images/icons/wink.gif
