Question Forum Posts being cut off

Why Microsoft has to do everything different ... !!!

My CSS coding skills aren't that good (especially for really bizarre peculiarities embedded in Internet Explorer ... especially for some of the really bizarre behaviours of ancient versions of Internet Explorer). If you think that I have little patience for Internet Explorer (in whatever form it comes), you're right! I realise that it's not necessarily within everyone's grasp to ditch IE but, if you want my honest opinion, ol' IE doesn't cut the mustard any more.

This doesn't answer your question, I'm sorry to day. I suggest you pursue the many good tips that Lintzy has posted on how to overcome IE's muddle-headed thinking. The answer lies in the CSS.

Alternatively, instead of lamenting the dead dinosaur, you could encourage your users to use a more up-beat browser.

Yes, I agree. At present, I'm playing with the .css, following Lintzy's code. I see it fixes the wrap problem but now the forum is too wide, covered up by right modules.

Thanks for the pointers!

Good luck. If you fix the issue, please post your solution. There may still be a few other browsersauruses roaming the planet.

Ok, I think this works, I added the following to the end of my kunena.forum.css file:



/* Fix for Internet Explorer 6*/
#Kunena *html div.msgtext {
width:600px;
overflow:hidden!important;
word-wrap: break-word;
}

/*Fix for Internet Explorer 8*/
#Kunena div.msgtext {
width:/*\**/600px\9;
overflow:/*\**/hidden!important\9;
word-wrap:/*\**/break-word\9;
}

as Lintzy suggested. I had to make the px 600. I tested it in ie 6 and 8 and it looks good. Then posted it to www.fiberglassics.com and am waiting for feedback.
