Hey. New board.

I'm un-wrapped. Nice long horizontal scrollbar.

ETA: Using Firefox on Windows

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ah, never mind. Will delete. Have no pretty solutions.

I was also firefoxing if it makes a difference.

And, if memory serves correctly, I think Jessica is Firefoxing at home, so it may be a Firefox issue.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Unbalanced delimiters on href's should no longer be a problem in the test playground.

Next up: line choppage.

eta: Line choppage installed.

BTW, the line choppage works one way for Opera and Safari, and another for everyone else. Both are brutal. Long URL's (45+ characters) are doomed on Opera/Safari. All the other browsers should be able to use long url's.

Long url's seem to be preserved, in every browser.

eta: Hang off on testing ...

Thanks, Karl.

Calling all testers. Whats in: tag closing/ordering, url protection in hrefs, and a protection for all browsers from too-wide words.

If you want to be a tester, just drop me a line.

Nebbermind. Still busted.

I'm going to go ahead with getting them to upgrade our Plesk (which'll give us a more recent version of PHP).

Later on we can explore upgrading MySQL.

Sounds good.

Alright. Features available for test:

1. tags should auto-close

2. tags with attributes values (color="blue", href="dogmeat", etc.) should auto-balance the delimiters (href=dogmeat" becomes href="dogmeat" ).

3. Words longer than 30 characters will be force-hyphenated. Long urls are protected from this.

4. URL's entered like this: [link] will be rendered into link . This prevents long URL's from stretching the screen sidewise.
