the best you can hope for is a "preview post" button/link. 

Maybe you could just have a js popup warning people when they didn't close their q tag and probably suck at teh InTerNet.

? 

I get a DNS error. 

hmm, i'm not sure exactly.

I did make a change about 2 days ago to allow hyphens as word breaks. So-a-long-string-like-this-no-longer-gets-truncated-by-the-board. But that URL only has one hyphen, so it should still get truncated. Maybe my new regular expression doesn't actually do what i thought it did :P

Metlslime-I-dont-think-you-should-have-mentioned-that-long-strings-like-this-don't-get-truncated-by-the-board-I-have-a-feeling-someone-may-abuse -it-or-exploit-it 

... it works fine now ! 

since you can't abuse it as a long line as you wrote gets broken up anyway. 

I'm thinking IE and Firefox disagree on at what point a hypen gets to cause a line-break and when it gets to push out the container. 

is that just speculation or something you noticed? 

test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test-test- 

no long strings allowed in titles! FOR SHAME!... really, it already limits length! 

mozilla does that too. 

It was idle speculation because I was at work. I just confirmed it now though. IE breaks post #458 where you intend, but firefox doesn't break it at all. I assume you're not useing the nobr tag.

necros: firefox and moz both use the gecko renderer, and are essentially the same thing. The only difference is that mozilla was a hogde podge of things that didn't belong together inherited from the Netscape project. Firefox is an attempt to set things right. I can't fathom why anyone would use IE though. 

;) 

i don't know much about the whole firefox and mozilla developements, i just keep it around for times when IE breaks down. ;) 

so, firefox doesn't break words on hyphens. I guess that means i have to truncate long words even with hyphens.

metlslime, does http://celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=11715&start=331 break the tables for you? I think it's Kell's post that does it. 

 

i can't find it.
