Some of the things of the forum have been changed. Please reply to this message, if you see any weird behavior in topic display.
Technical details:
1. Wordwrap fixed. Let me explain, even the original phpbb script has a bug. Not a bug really. Actually there is no way around this. When someone posts a long string of characters without any space and line break, it stretches the table widths and a horizontal scroll bar appears. This would'nt look half bad I guess, if our template in this forum was fluid, instead of fixed width. As it so happened, with a fixed width template, the site design completely breaks down when one posts long uninterrupted strings or big size images. To avoid the long strings I used a wordwrap to break any long uninterrupted string after 50 characters when the topic posts are parsed. This normally works great. But another problem arises. The world wide web is full of long urls. And when people post links with long urls, the long string is broken after 50 characters and a space or new line appears!
To make a long story short, this confuses the people and the browsers alike.
So to fix that I,
2. Introduced a dynamic behavior that wraps posts with long strings into a scrollable <div> Now the tables should'nt stretch, no matter how wide the post itself is.
Please report any problem or post your suggestion.
Thanks.
