Limit long words
-
Hey Guys,
We’re currently having some problems with longish words flowing out of the design, all normal words get text wrapped when they reach the end however long url’s or lines don’t, any ideas how to resolve?

An example can be seen there, that url would even go into the background if i hadn’t shortened it, any ideas guys?

You want
.post { overflow: auto; }which isn’t actually the automatic setting – but it’s the one that automatically adds a scrollbar if the post is too wide. Like multiline code here, it’ll add the scrollbar only if needed. Also handy for images.
And lol at everyone suggesting something else.
Ahhh that auto worked a treat
I’ve used the break-word as well for IE so it doesn’t even need to scroll when words are too long, in FF it just scrolls. Although a plugin to shorten long url’s words etc might be quite cool, like:http://www.ilovebbpress.com/bla/blab/blalblba/indexnop/123

If I get time next week I might make one… but don’t quote me on that
Thanks guys for the help!
Here you are… ported from wp-chunk (literally only had to change the filter names)
