Quote box size?

Brian in Mesa · April 7th, 2004, 09:53 PM

How about reducing the size of the quote box?

Right now, when you quote someone else's post - it is stretched so far it carries the text past the page end.

Makes for many incomplete longer sentences.

why are we a society obsessed with the size of the box?

By the way - the problem was not with the overall size of the box, but in the fact that the length of the box carried further than the right side of the page, meaning longer sentences or paragraphs were cut off when they extended to the right side of the page.

It appears to have been fixed.

Thanks, Mike.

If the box is too big it's like throwing a hot dog down a hallway. That's no good. Can't have that.

What the hell are you guys talking about? I'm talking about sex.

I have that problem sometimes too...

It's not the height of the box (up and down) but the width of the box (side to side)

The width is too long, and sometimes it can cut sentences off.

What resolutions are you guys running at? I'm running 1024x768 and not seeing the problem. If you are running at 1024 or higher, can you point out a thread with a streched quote box?

Mike made some micro-styles you can choose that are better optimized for 800x600. Is is still a problem when you switch to those styles?

I am running a 1024 x 768.

I will try to find a quote box which blocks off the quote.

UGH - I could never use 800x600...lame.

Anyway, it happened again in a post by schutd. I'll go find it.

27th post.

The word "smug" is off the screen, at least on my pc.

But if you look at the post by itself (clicking on the #27) you'll see the entire thing.

Or, when you quote his post, it'll appear too.
