New Line for Text

[ajbrun]

When people post long pictures that go beyond the length of my screen, It makes the webpage longer also, which makes sense, and is fine. But that means that to read the text, you need to keep scrolling left and right to read it all which can be quite annoying. I don't mind long picture, and sometimes they can be quite useful, but is there a way that you can make text start a new line once it gets to the end of the screen?

I've just done a post, with a large(ish) pic in it, but decided to manually make a new line to make it "user friendly". Is there a way that you can automatically get it to do this?

Thanks

nope, but thanks for asking

[ajbrun]

Is that nope it CAN'T be done, or nope it WON'T be done (can't be bothered, don't see the point etc)?

[directhex]

cen't be done.

well, there could be pages of evil javascript to detect resolution, broswer, dfont sizes, and do the new lining...

but not gonna happen

what he said

Just thinking about what you mentioned there - couldn't you put in the options section a place where people can state their browser, resolution font size or whatever? hen you won't need "evil javascript" to detect it. Those who don't fill in the options have it as it is now. Is THAT possible?

That wouldnt work very well for people who browse of multiple PC's with multiple O/S's and multiple browsers!

Just get a new monitor... That be much easyer! some thing with a native of 1600 by 1200.....

It's not just the trapping of resolution abjrun, it's how you apply that code to the vbulletin application without making it a nightmare to upgrade. Also, what do you do with those users who don't know what resolution is or can't be bothered populating their profile ? Do you set them to 800x600 and then deal with the thousands of queries about why the text only takes up part of their screen.

In short, it's an interesting idea but it's not viable given the very small number of posts it affects.

OK, thanks anyway
