Re: current bbpress support forum template – time for update?
Changing the width of the theme is easy; all it takes is a single change in a CSS file. If they hard-coded the width into the HTML, they deserve the extra work.
I think that if you use they backticks on an inline basis the overflow is hidden, but if you use it for paragraphs (specifically: backtick is in line above your code, I think) the overflow remains.
For example, a really long path like var/www.mywebsite.com/htdocs/wordpress/bbpress/bb-includes/template-functions.php
or whatever will be cut off. If there had been spaces, it should wrap.
But a paragraph of code will have the scrollbar.
