Wide pages - long URL's

Postby JimboPSM » November 3, 2005, 12:17 am

I have noticed from time to time on forum topics that when a long URL is used that it does not wrap on to a second line and I end up with a very wide page which I have to scroll left and right to read.

Being a lazy person I'm wondering if I can avoid this scrolling either by me changing a setting somewhere or other #-o or the Webmaster weaving some magic with the software?

I've noticed it too Jim, for some reason the forum cannot wrap url's like standard text and it expands the page making it difficult to read for people with a low screen resolution and small screen.

I will have a look for a mod to avoid this happening, however there is a way around it by using the following html code but may get confusing for some people.

Code: Select all
[url=http://www.udonmap.com/]Visit UdonMap.com[/url]


Will give you this result Visit UdonMap.com
The URL is not displayed only the UdonMap.com.

To display the address only use the following code, however it is very long the forum cannot wrap it and it will cause the forum to adjust it's width:

Code: Select all
[url]http://www.udonmap.com[/url]


http://www.udonmap.com

I will try and change the posts with the long urls but may take me a little while to find them.

Regards, Lee
