  1. Hello,

    I'm having an issue where links pasted in to the comments don't have a line break where the comments column boundary should be. They end up intruding on the other side bar columns. For example, see comment #4 on this page:

    Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance for any info - Luke.

  2. That happens because the URL is longer than the width of the center column.

    So people need to use one of those programs that will shorten the URL - or use HTML to make it a regular link.

    The program I use to get shorter URLS is http://tinyurl.com

    I don't use comments on my site - but think you can go in and edit the comment yourself to change the URL.
    Just change the link to: http://tinyurl.com/6bwf95

    Hope that helps.

  3. yeah, that's not quite what I was looking for. From a usability standpoint, I don't want to require my users to have to visit a 3rd party site to convert a link to a format that won't 'break' my site.

    I was hoping for a simple setting or php command that might enable long line text wrapping or something to that effect.
