... 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.

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. 

nt 

exactly. but iirc qmap and qboard both died under the size of their own standard databases. perhaps grab the first 5000 posts of ga, and make an 'archive' section that is just plain html of each 1,000?
