Rendering problem on yacs.com [Solved]

Issue description

In some articles in the Forum (not all), sometimes the right-hand side of the comments is cut off and I am missing the last few letters of every line. Just like this :

rendering_problem_1.png

First, I thought it was due to the side panel, rendering on top of the text, but then I noticed that it does the same thing down the page, where there is no side-panel anymore.

rendering_problem_2.png

I have never noticed such a thing on my site. This is something happening on www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com

For your info, I am using IE6 and the screenshots were taken from this post.

This is because of a long URL put in the post. I have cut it to something shorter to fix the issue. Another way to achieve the same result is to use the code [folder]...[/folder] to make the large line visible only to people interested into it. Or better, use the code [link=short label]long URL[/link] to have only the short label displayed.

Bernard:

I notice on various forums I use, they automatically truncate the text of a hyperlink, this might be a useful feature:

www.thisisareallysillylonglongurl...

Also, consider this CSS, which I found via google at Wrapping long urls

width: 30em; /* constrain width */ height: 1.5em; /* constrain height */ overflow: hidden; /* hide excess */

Hope this helps, I think its IE/FF/Opera compatible.

Thank you guys !

I'll make sure to check my own url when posting. However, since one cannot ask every collaborator to comply with every technical detail, I will experiment with the CSS on my own sites.

And I agree that automatic truncating should eventually become a standard feature of yacs.

The CSS described by NickR is already at work, and YACS does have a truncating function. Some tuning is missing probably...
