Hi, I'm having some issues with the BBC "code" and "/code"

My issue is, that, it stretches the forum... Magnificently... and well, I'd much rather it didn't.

I have no idea how to fix it, or what is causing it.

It happens on all my Curve-based personalised themes, and on both Curve and Core itself.

Can anyone help out?

I run RC3, and have a fair listing of Mods, which I will dig up.

This happens with any code?

Is this on your portal frontpage or in the actual display itself?

It happens when I use the BBCode for "code" eg:

Filling this with a lot of text would stretch my forum

I haven't tried using it on the portal front page; just in the main forum itself... mostly because I've had no need to post coding on the front page, but have in several sections of the forum itself. For some reason it seems to feel that splitting one line into two after a certain number of characters isn't necessary, as you can see from the screenshots -- both of them are Previews of the same post, one bracketed in "code" and one not....

What browser are you using? Have you tried a different browser?

Can you post a link to a post with this issue?

It does this in FireFox, Opera, Chrome, IE & Safari. On both Windows and Apple type computers.


Sorry for the delay in replying. I've had a horrendous week.

It must be a mod that's causing this. Just a hunch, but could you try uninstalling the justify bbc and spoiler tag mod and see if that fixes it?

I'll give it a shot, but I don't think it's either of them. I've been using them for a while, and the problem is only fairly recent.


Edit: it wasn't either of them =/

Okay, so did it start happening just like that? In that case, if you didn't make any modifications you might want to try emptying the forum cache in Admin -> Maintenance -> Forum Maintenance -> Routine.

Adjusting the Post Settings, "Break up words with more letters than 0 to disable." did nothing to help, either.

Is anyone else able to offer assistance??

If this just started after installing a mod you could uninstall one at a time until it fixes it.
All your pages seem to work ok until I click on a post to read then it spreads to the right.
Never argue with an Idiot like myself, they just drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

Yes. I know which one, too, but removing it is totally out of the question!

Simple fix but kinda ugly: add a defined with to the bbc_code class. This is what I use:

Shouldn't that be my decision, since it's my website???

And I would appreciate knowing which one, thank you.

Hrm.
Okay then.
I'll see if Feline can help if that is the case.


Where abouts am I looking for the bbc_code class?

Setting Manager >> Global >> Enable Forumarea horizantal scroll on overflow (check the checkbox)


=D worked a charm. Though I'd share with you =)
