Sometimes a post will be made by someone and I will have to scroll sideways to read it all--can I do something on this end to correct it ? thanks.

Thanks, guys---well I'll just keep my left to right scrolling in practise -- no problem--I was concerned that I could have done something to correct it here that I wasn't seeing.

This is also a problem that I've encountered.
Most threads are ok but sometimes someone will start a thread that I have to scroll to the right forever! I don't think it has to do with screen resolution because most threads are ok, it's just that one every once in a while. We need a solution.

I've noticed it on threads where somebody is trying to make a point and follows it with 50 or so exclamation points. ("!") If the poster would notice it and edit it back down, that would eliminate that portion of the problem.

Large pictures will drag the width out, too. Maybe just providing a link to a large picture instead of posting it, would solve that one.

Or as mentioned an Ebay auction link. For auction links use TinyUrl.com. You put in a really long URL and get out a tiny one. It's great for posting on any message boards where they don't have HTML or UBB codes.
