I just put stuff in brackets when I edit it in. Saves typing.

Is it possible to force text to wrap when people do those insanely long hyphenated compound words? It's crazy making on a good day, but when I've threadsucked a several hundred posts and they're all bleeding off the screen, I really get cranky (and a little nauseous).
I thought it was just my low screen resolution at home, but it was still happening at school when I was reading a monitor with a much higher resolution.

It's browser dependent, Sue. Try IE.

Try IE.
Grrr...I do that for threadsucking at home, but they've totally disabled IE at work.
(edit: That "grrr" was for IE , not you, Jon.)

Actually, that was lousy advice. I would never suggest that someone switch to a product of the Evil Empire. As a stompy, I try to fix long hyphenations when I see 'em, and I know that others do so as well. So if you see one, let us know!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

What if we don't want to use IE? I'm with Sue. It's a colossal pain in the ass when you're trying to catch up.
edit: saw Jon's subsequent post, calming down now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Try IE is crapass advice.
Try Opera.

I like Mozilla. What I'd really like is for people to break up their own frelling-extended-forever-hyphenations, but that seems unlikely. t /cranky

Random comment cause I noticed earlier:
Threadsucked, and then hit print, and it printed...and the whitefont was printed too! (In grey). Just something people might want to be aware of. (It was natter, so it wasn't spoily to me, but...)
