    Text runs off screen

    This may be a browser thing but since the new format I've noticed the message format doesn't auto size for width.  So I get a scroll bar on the bottom of the window that I have to slide in order to read the far right end of the messages.  If there is a setting to fix this I can't find it.  Thanks for any ideas.

    Can you attach screenshot and confirm browser you are using?

    Seems to be tied to your screen resolution rather than a feature or configuration of the forum software?

    An on-line browser-based text-reading solution that has never heard of word wrap? Are you kidding me?

    Looks to me as if the forum software is married to a specific width. Any wider? Masses of wasted space. Any narrower? Can't read the posts. Nice job.

    The overall Autodesk.com design is set to a specific width, yes.

    It shouldn't be.
