    John,

    I'm using Netscape. I notice that in some threads (yes some, not all), the text are not wrapped in the window. This uncomfortable when reading as you have to scroll horizontally, but also particularly unhandy when wanting to reply or post a thread since the link is on the bottom-right corner...

    Maybe you are aware of this but I haven't seen anyone mention this so to be sure now i am mentioning it..

    This is not just Netscape - it is all browsers. Because long lines of code are maintained as long lines rather than wrapping them, all the lines of text do not wrap. This is just a fact of HTML I'm afraid. Not much we can do.

    The people using the code tag are not wrapping their code (or comments) with the _ marker.

    (Correct me if I'm wrong) I imagine that the code tag uses an HTML <Pre> tag with colouring for just this purpose.

    If the system attempted to wrap everyones code then it would lose some of it's readability as indenting would corrupt.

    I prefer this situation to people who don't use the code tag though, the code is a LOT easier to read

    Then maybe you can put the 'new thread' and 'post reply' links somewhere on the left side of the screen?
