Hi,
Sorry if this is a dupe; I couldn't find it in any recent threads.
Anyways, it seems that super long words screw up the site's layout. Example: this page is too wide in FF3 and Safari. The solution would be to allow individual words to be wrapped if necessary.
It's not a big deal; just thought I would bring it to your attention.

I'm confused... Did you even look at the link I gave? The problem wasn't a long URL.
But anyways, this isn't really a big deal. I just posted because it doesn't make sense that 1 post should be able to mess up the style of the whole page.

There isn't really an effective way to do this other than to break up long words in either the DB or on output, which could break things like URLs or BBCode. Ideally there would be some nice CSS to force word breaks, but sadly there isn't.

you could put it in the TL commandments and consider doing that rude posting
cause come on...when is more than one exclamation mark ever necessary?
can also make exceptions for highly emotional threads

ok thanks, that's what I was wondering. Shame CSS doesn't have a way to "contain" text inside of a <td> element with an absolute width.

unless you add a Div inside the td of the table where the content goes, and the set the width of the div in css.
that would most likely solve the problem ~~;

But then we'd need to finally fix big quoted images. :p

Here is what I did over at VG..
Layout breakers..
"ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss"
..turns into..
http://vilegaming.com/forums.php?m=posts&p=98818#98818
..the code..
function wraptext($str, $wrap=128)
{
if (!empty($str)) { $str = preg_replace("/([^\n\r ?&\.\/<>\"\\-]{80})/i"," \\1\n", $str); }
return($str);
}
..then use..
$post_content = wraptext($post_content);
..or..
$post_content = wraptext($post_content, 60);
The above function works clean and handles all non-alphabetic characters as it should.
Quoting images..
http://vilegaming.com/forums.php?m=posts&p=98357#98357
..when quoted turns into..
http://vilegaming.com/forums.php?m=posts&p=98820#98820
..the code..
$search = array('[*img*]', '[*/img*]');
$replace = array('Image: ', '');
$post_content = str_ireplace($search, $replace, $post_content);
Note: Remove the *s in the above code.
You could also use preg_replace instead of str_ireplace, but then you would need to add in the regex expressions.

and does it handle urls,imgs etc as it should? And can you still break the layout with quotestacks?
you could also use the brutal solution. "overflow:hidden"
With most browsers "overflow:auto" would also work. It usually adds scrollbars if required.

Yes it handles URLs, images, etc. as it should.
I handled quote stacks/nests differently on my site. When you quote a post that has quoted text in it it will remove it.
For example, here on TL it works like this..
Post 1
..on VG i have it like this..
Post 1
..post 3 does not show the quoted text from post 1.
