go to your style sheet, which is located here
styles/subsilver2/theme/stylesheet.css

and edit line 216 of that document to read

Code: Select all

p.topicauthor {
    margin: 1px 0;
    word-break: break-all;
}

that is all. Problem solved.

i asked the user "ohigetbywithalittlehelpfrommyfriends" to shorten his username as it destroys the layout of the forum in every thread he posts for most users (i'm using the latest version of Firefox) and several people have already complained.

Example:

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=208014&start=105

but it's the same in any other thread he participates in.

Unfortunately he refuses to shorten his name, quote:

use safari bitch

so it'd be nice if you could either make him shorten his name or remove him from the forum.

Thanks.

• Ask a user to change is name, that abides to the forum rules
• Ask forum admins to remove a user because you happen to not like his name

Finally a sane voice.

In waiting for a resolution by the ones who can address it, may I ask all web site preset readers that wants personal control over stuff like this to investigate browser "user style sheet" and realize that you are in control and web designers are not. Guess whose style sheet carry the most weight in browsers?

Yes, this means you will have to understand a little about how your browser works and how to apply a CSS tip you get without breaking your favorite web sites. But you will feel empowered when you take control of your browser experience.

I hear PDC is not working well in Live, but why complain, it's nothing a little programming in C by the user can't help, amirite?!

It's you who are disconnected from the technical world people typically below your age move around in freely. They are not "nerds". They are users. of course not all users are willing to do anything "out of the ordinary", but there are many that are willing to do that. You are living in the past thinking there are people and then there are nerds. idiotic assumption!

I support users less technical than the average Live user every week. They can do this and equal "hard" tasks, like run commands in the Terminal. If motivated, i e if it will fix problems they are affected by, they can do several semi-complicated steps. Sometimes this is necessary.

If they can do it I can't see why not a typical Live user can, if they are motivated.

And, again, this was proposed as an alternative not as the final solution. After all, it would take 1 minute for a site developer to fix this site wide in a few minutes (Assuming the site have well structured CSS).
