Recently, there have been a few threads (not just spam) where the thread titles have been ridiculously long. On my computer, this results in the whole forum panel widening as much as is necessary to fit the title in. That means having to scroll horizontally to read the thread list and posts.
There’s nothing we can do to stop stupidity, but this particular manifestation of it could be thwarted by imposing a limit on the number of characters in the Subject line. I imagine this would be fairly easy to do. Can Gilby or someone else do this?
You probably can’t limit the subject size to what you want because all usenets are the same standard and those messages weren’t posted through unicyclist.com
I suppose unicyclist.com could cut it short when it was showing it and add “…” to the end.
That subject line only wraps because it is more than one word. The ones the other day were one word, or rather, several words joined by underscores, which act as one word. The forum won’t break a word apart, so it shows it in one line. Look in the trash forum now…
Sometimes I get part way through a long thread without finishing (e.g., the funny pictures thread). When I come back, I have to scroll a couple of pages at a time to my previous location.
It would be great if I could GoToPage 12 without loading all of the intervening pages.
