At least 95% of the time I visit the message boards this is how the salutation appears: [ul]

This is convenient for my screen set-up, since the tab for GQ is nicely positioned at the bottom of the screen.
On rare occasions however I see this:[ul]

Now the GQ tab is partially obscured by the bar on my screen. Not a big problem since I learned how to use the roll-keys a long time ago, but the question remains, why is this happening? Anyone else getting the time wrapped?
Well, I think the reason is the length of the text “MM-DD-YYYY HR:MN A/PM”. In most cases, it fits your screen, and in some cases (I dunno. 08-08-2001 08:38 PM? Buncha broad characters, I suppose) it’s just a bit too wide, and the time tag appears on a second line. I suppose the time tag is a coded entity that won’t break up, so it moves in its entirety.
Coldfire, what you say is reasonable, but it doesn’t fit the facts. The examples I gave are cut-and-pasted from last night. At 10:48 line 1 wraps. At 11:09 I hit refresh and it doesn’t wrap. The text of line 1 is the same in each case.
