This is probably a really stupid question, but I can’t find the answer. Why does every now and then some poster’s post goes way off my screen to the right? Everyone else’s are all within the screen. For example, this thread. I could hardly read it trying to scroll over and back, over and back. Is it that they’re composing on a huge monitor?
It’s due to RickJay using one extremely long word starting with:
didthesamethingyou’reaccusingBrownofdoingyousayallliberals…
The software tries to keep the giant single word together, so it extends the right margin out. If he had put a space or two in there, it would have split the word into multiple lines, alleviating the problem.
Ah, grasshopper!

Thanks.
Maybe a kindly mod will pop in to scatter some spaces about in that megaword.
The
tags can cause things to mess up widthways too, as lines are not broken (except at natural hard returns).
