How to make full-width lines in the forum...
Quote | Reply
If you use the underscore "_" or dash "-" and just string together a LOT of them _____ ad infinitum or ------ ad infinitum, the forum thinks of that as one long word, and it messes up the display. At some point, I'll figure out how to use CSS to force word breaks or to use JavaScript to replace it before it gets into the database, but you all could also just not do it.

If you want to make a line that demarcates part of your post from the rest, you just use a horizontal rule.

If you use the basic edit, you just use the hr tag [-hr-] but without the dashes on either side of the hr makes:



If you are in the advanced editor, you just use the handy button that's there to make a horizontal rule:

It should be the first line of everyone's sig so that it is very clear where the post ends and the sig starts.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Better than seeing people using varying amounts of dashes.

As was just mentioned, it should be the first line of every signatures. It is annoying how people have signatures that basically blend into what they just wrote.

Ok, you should use <divs> for layout and table just for data (checkout bootstrap). But, since for that you would need to redesign the whole thing, here's your solution; it is pretty simple and you just need to add two things in two different sections.

Add: "table-layout:fixed;" to the style attribute of the table that represents each post in a thread.See how the code should look below.



AND also, you need to add: "word-wrap: break-word; overflow: hidden;" to the style attribute of the column where posts are displayed. See below how it should look.



Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

So, I guess you didn't like my solution above? Seriously, it fixes your long lines/words problem.

I like it. Sorry, just forgot to reply. Just need to test it in the dev forum and then push live if it works without issue.

It'd be even better if there was a display option for users to hide all signatures.
