You don't know the half of it. He does a lot of behind the scenes work that you don't even see.

Here's a couple of tips to help stop this from happening:

Long links

You can cheat by doing this. When you have a long link to put in, such as those long obnoxious ebay links, click on the email icon, at the top of the post box, when the first box pops up type in some anchor text for the link and click on OK. In the second box, wipe out the "mailto:" and put in the link and click OK.

Another option is https://www.tinyurl.com, this will convert a monstrous link into a very short one. They also have a button that you can use with IE that you click when your on the page you want to shorten. It will shorten the URL and copy the short one to your clipboard.

Photos

Always put an "enter" between photos. Some browsers won't wrap them like text. (especially if there isn't even a space between them) When I see them like this, I usually go in and edit them.

The size of a single photo will do this also. When a user is using 600 x 800 resolution, the post area has a width of about 500 pixels. Any photos wider than this will cause their screen to scroll. The basic idea is this, take the width of your screen resolution and subtract 300 pixels. Any photo wider than this number will cause your screen to scroll.

I am a chemical university engineer and some of this
computer talk is too complicated for me
I know that in other forums only very wide charts or pics will
upset the width
Not the length of ebay or other links
So I am a bit amazed the lengths of the links upsets the post

The link post only goes wide for me in Firefox. Opera and IE seem to wrap it automatically and keep the screen a normal width.

Dunno whether that is a bug in Firefox or if they intend it to be that way.

You're welcome Bobby.

Thanks again Rui!!!!Mike

That is very cool!

Rui, thank you so much! I love the new mod.

For a while, I was trying to keep up with the pics and reducing the size, but I got a couple days behind and then just gave up. You've saved me lots and lots of time.

Thanks again!
