Journal Posts Extending Beyond Browser Window

I'm using IE7 and VBulletin 3.

The text in some Journal posts (not mine) are extending beyond my maximized browser window. I can scroll across of course, but that's tedious. It's not a problem in the threads.

I tried switching to FromBasics Dark and TFP Green, but the problem was the same.

Does each Skin format soft-returns differently?

The Reforms

I believe it is the journal entires themselves that are the cause of this.

Some entries contain very large pictures, and for the entire resolution of the photo to fit, it must extend the entire journal to do so; now because the entire width of the journal has been extended because of one large photograph, so also does the text lengthen to accomodate for it.

I myself have noticed this in roachboy's journal, but have witnessed it in other's.
Is this the cause of your problems, perhaps?

Yeah, that must be it. It didn't occur to me because there wasn't a photo in the entry, only farther down in a much older entry where I couldn't see it.

Could we should limit photo dimensions to avoid this?

I've been annoyed with the same thing... if someone posts a large picture in their journal, it ruins all the rest of their entries (by having to scroll back and forth horizontally, to read each sentence). I'd like to see some kind of delimiter as well, or some way to make the text part stay within a limit and the photo can be as big as they want.

but wait. i kinda like this feature. i like that you cant see the whole of an image all at once sometimes---i use this as an option for playing about with the form---there are not a whole lot of controls available in journal-space for tampering with layout or format--this is a primitive but sometimes effective one--so if it is changed, please make the change reversible on an individual basis.

believe it or not there are logics that inform what i do with the journal and messing with the surface that you read or look at is an element that i use.

so i would ask that the already very narrow range of format tampering options be left alone--or expanded (like get rid of the fucking left justification function or at least make it optional). for example, i'd really like to be able to creep text into images that i steal without having to do stuff in illustrator only to find that i cant upload it.

MORE WAYS TO TAMPER WITH LAYOUT PLEASE.
(for what it's worth...)

Interesting, roachboy...

My complaint is not about the pictures, more about the text and having to go from side to side makes it very tiring to read some people's long, drawn-out posts. That's all. If the text can stay within the screen, while the photos go off-screen, fine with me.

/feels repetitive.

I don't think we'll be limiting image size in journals because, that's the person's personal space, and I'm not comfortable limiting that option for them if that's what they choose. If you want it to not do that while reading a specific entry, if you look at the top right of the entry, you'll see "#" followed by a number. Just click on that and it will open that entry, and only that entry, in a new window without the screwed up formatting from the pics from a previous entry.

Thank you, spectre...I'm afraid I'm probably one of the journaling culprits, too. But I like posting my pics in my journal.

Yeah, I had to stop hotlinking pics from my webspace directly due to this...instead I now hotlink them through Flickr and haven't had any problems, because it's easier to choose which size you want on Flickr.
