Colin,
For some reason, the text is not wrapping in the posts. I have to slide the page back and forth to read the messages. Is there an easy fix for this?

Click on the full screen/smaller icon on the upper right - this should reduce the screen width and make it easier to read.

In Chrome, the text wraps in the box.
In Firefox, the text runs off the screen.
Clicking the box in the upper right has no impact.

Not a huge deal. Do other Firefox users have the same issue?

The first post in this thread is one where I see the issue : http://discus.4specs.com/discus/messages/1097/8306.html?1488321789

yes, i was noticing the same thing using Firefox.

And then, after your post, magically, the problem disappeared! I did nothing to the settings or screen icon...

I, too, use Firefox and have not noticed this problem.

I use IE and the Wall Legends post is the only one that runs off for me. Probably has something to do with the picture attachments and overall pixel width.

Yes, I have that problem with Firefox, but not on all threads of this forum. This page seems to be fine, but this one http://discus.4specs.com/discus/messages/1097/8306.html?1488321789 is not.

I'm going to make a long sentence paragraph out of this as a way to test this page. I'm going to make a long sentence paragraph out of this as a way to test this page.

Agreed, John. Your tests are fine, but the referenced page is not.

Lynn,
Now I am confused. Is this about "text not wrapping" or "favorite typo's"! ;)
Side note - I actually got on the to look at favorite typos for a class I was preparing!

My comment referenced John's 8 "test" sentences, which were fine on my screen. The page he referenced did not wrap, but ran off the screen.

I love "favorite typos". Always good for a laugh.

The test page that John wrote wraps fine for me in Firefox. The page that he referenced to does not wrap.

The inconsistency is just weird .

Maybe Firefox responds differently when there are images in a post.

Both pages look good in Chrome, but in Firefox I am seeing the same thing you're talking about -- the page John linked to does not wrap.
