    Thread title length

    I noticed the title lengths the main page and individual forums aren't trimed prior to posting so the whole page dimensions get messed up. Might I suggest doing a substring() on thread titles before they hit the forums? I don't think it would be an issue in the individual threads themselves however.

    I'd offer to help but it's been a LONG time since I was hacking vB so I have no idea where to direct you to make the change. I'm sure Raj knows better than I .

    Re: Thread title length

    FireFox... and at the moment the thread entitled "Cant decide on what kind of boa or where to get it?Right now I have a possibly..." is pushing the whole screen over so I have to scroll. Not a big deal obviously, but just a thought.

    Perhaps it's just a FireFox thing?

    Re: Thread title length



    That's what it looks like in Firefox... so apparently this is exclusive to Firefox. However, since we are discussing it, here's the advanced reply screenshot in Firefox (which also extends over):



    So it looks like Firefox isn't playing nice with the design overall.

    Re: Thread title length

    Same here, 1024 x 768. Just checked it in IE 7 and sure enough... same problem. That's strange... appears to be a hardware issue. Perhaps it's the respective video cards? Not sure... weird.

    Re: Thread title length

    Just to check ONE more, I opened up Safari (on PC) and sure enough same thing. Hardware problem, maybe how the video card is rendering it? Weird.
