I set my screen to 800x600, because at 1024x768 and larger I find it hard to read the smaller type.(Don''t have a large monitor :-) Now when people post with the HTML tag &ltpre> or your built in source tag and then don''t format properly, the screen can get pretty wide. When this happens, you have to scroll to right to read all the posts in the message, not just the one using those tags. I find it a pain in the ass to have to scroll right left right left to read every single line in the post. Is there a way you can fix this, or do I have to suffer :-) Thanks for reading this. --- Make it work. Make it fast. "Commmmpuuuuterrrr.." --Scotty Star Trek IV:The Voyage Home

I don''t know that there''s really anything we can do to fix it. I suppose we could do something to check the line length within the source tags, and break it if it goes over a certain value, but doing so would be difficult, and some people would undoubtedly be annoyed that we''re messing with their formatting.

Ultimately, it''s up to the people using the tag to limit their line length.
