I've seen some other forums that limit the horizontal space for posts that don't have images larger than the window. In other words, whenever somebody posts a pic too large for the h-scroll, that post is allowed to go past it, but the next guy's post will be formatted just as though the h-scroll was still virgin. Would it be possible for our forums to incorporate this sort of technology?

I'm pretty sure the forum would have to be a certain width, and it would have to be centered for it to "stretch"
I cant think of an efficent way to do this that does not end up taking away major functionality. Also, there is no "standard" resolution we could use....

Each post is it's own table set with the width set to whatever it currently is (fixed, not percentage).
This way, if someone breaks the h-scroll, only his/her post will be affected.

But that will shaft functionality. I quite enjoy being able to browse this site at 1600x1200

I fail to see how introducing grey areas along the sides of the screen for some users isn't a better option than eliminating broken-hscroll issues for all users.

Hmm?
Really, there's no reason you should break our h-scroll rules. If the pics too big, just link it. Better for dail-up users anyway.

I feel like I should come to a definate answer on this, so... This is not going to be implemented. Sorry. We have moderators and they do a good job keeping up with this. There are simply too many expections for me to hard code in values. AC is a good example. Desktop Threads. etc.
The forum this thread is in isn't safe for work, but the thread should be quite safe. This is the only way I could think of to demonstrate what I'm talking about. If anybody has any problems, I'll edit this post ASAP. Also, you'll need to sign up to view the thread, so I'll post a picture showing it in a few minutes.
The great thing about it is that the column resizing is done completely on the fly. I don't know anything about how these forums work, I'm just suggestion you look into this if you're interested.
NOTE: I deleted the test thread I created. PM me or contact me through AIM if you have any questions.

That I might be willing to add. I think that the admin used CSS for that. Hmmmm... If I could get in touch with their admin I might take a look at the code, I would also tell him not to rip off phpBB and give them some credit
Either way, it is a well done forum, from my experience, it looks like a non-phpBB website that uses phpBB's icons....

There is a hack on phpBB hacks that does this, still allowing the non hscroll breaking posts to streach and fill the window.
I believe Ramius was aware of it so you may want to ask if there's a reason he never bothered implementing it.
Yeah, though from the looks of it that was a IVB. Ill ask Ramius about it, I have two ideas of how to implement it. As long as it makes no calls to GD Im cool with it.

But yeah, it seems that implementing your idea would require altering the board software, which is probably beyond what our humble moderators can do.

This was the earliest thread I've posted in that's still in the database and I found it thanks to the "View your posts" link on index.
