Why do some of these posts have a rediculous WIDTH, while others seem well contained?

The first thing that came to mind was that maybe some people cut and paste from another editor (which may not be wrapping).

if you use the code tags, it doen't force a new line unles you use the enter key

The threads have been formatting strangely with no code tags involved though. Curiouser and curiouser, as Alice said.

It has also happened to me. At least once, the Thread was Okay when I returned later.

I often compose using Corel WordPerfect (Suite 8), and then Copy/Paste to the thread.

Could Corel WP be the culprit? If so, it has to be some specific feature of it. I use it often, and usually do not see the problem.

Why not post what you were doing when the symptom occurred. Maybe we can figure out what causes it.

I compose straight into the form online, just plain text and VBCodes, so I don't think it's a cut-and-paste problem.

So you weren't cutting and pasting?...Weird.

You cut & paste, but it was okay later?...I don't know which one is more weird.

All
I think it happened to me once when I first started here and I definitely didn't use cut & paste.

It's just so annoying to try to read/reply to a fubar thread.

Perhaps an Admin can provide a solution?
