... 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. 

i can't find it.

That's the problem.

k 

but how easy would it be for you to archive the GA thread (and other similarly huge threads) out of the database before we hit a critical meltdown such as on qmap and qboard?

not that I'm currently worried, I had just been looking back at earlier posts in the GA thread, remarking on how wonderfully bored I am here with no games or mapping or anything besides download the 6555 posts in general abuse as many differant ways as possible. (there are 6556 differant ways, I counted twice to be sure.) 

i archive the database manually now and then, but only like every 6 months. I should come up with an automatic way. 

you're worried that the size is the cause of meltdowns, and so i should save the old posts and then delete them?

While data loss is always a risk, i don't think we're really doing anything so unusual that standard database software can't handle it.
