Second Day for posts not fitting on the screen
 

So does this annoy others as much as it does me?
Having to scroll across the page just to read a post, and scroll even more to answer it?

There is an easy solution.

If everyone would just bookmark the site www.tinyurl.com

When you want to post a long link or web address, just go to tinyurl, paste the long url into the space and click "create a tiny url", then copy and paste that new tiny one into your post.

We could eliminate these too wide posts if we'd all consider that.

I'm not sure how people are to know about this, but I found out about quite by accident. Hopefully this post will make a few more people aware of it.

The "tinyurl" site is indeed a blessing for all of the internet-discussion community.

At the moment, the problem here is a thread title that has been posted with a series of words separated by commas but no spaces -- the software apparently treats this as all one word needing its own line. Fortunately, people have had hte sense to not reply to it, and at the moment it has sunk to post #49 so it will soon be out of our way.

Also linktrim.com ((#))

It is annoying Neo. This is a good reminder for posters who have missed similar hints.

Good post, neopolitan. Thank you.

Well for a couple hours today the long threads had moved to below the first 50, but now I see they're back again, so I'm raising this to the top in the hopes that at least one more person can learn how to avoid them.

I don't want to be mean, but I can't help wishing that people would stop responding to the post that's causing the problem. If the OP would just re-post with some spaces between words, the old one would sink and people could respond to the new one.

I'm not sure which current post is causing the problem. If I'm not mistaken though one that caused the problem earlier was one that someone actually brought to the top that was two years old. Surely they noticed it was too wide for the screen then, why would they bring it back to cause the problem again?

Neopolitan, I think it's the two Grand Canyon ones that are causing problems. It's the second line, with no spaces, just commas between words.

Someone keeps topping those two posts instead of letting them fall off the end of the earth. :-) ((b))

Agreed - it's annoying.

Fodor's web people - this is a simple html fix - can you please fix it?

And, unfortunately, Coro doesn't seem to get it at all. He's asked for more responses to his post. I understand that the problem is, ultimately, with Fodor's software. But I really wish that Coro would re-post and that folks would stop responding to the current post. I don't think I've ever seen a post cause everything to be out of whack for this long a time.
