Bah, I'm taking that scrollbar out. It keeps acting up. One of my posts even started scrolling vertically. 
Anyone know how to get it to fill the entire area without stretching it though?
[edit] Trying the width=100% again.  |

Well, the image is br--never mind. It got fixed. Nope, nothing wrong. |

I don't know why, but there's a very big scrollbar at the bottom of my Firefox at the moment -- but when I scroll, there's nothing there to see.

I still seem to be getting random bugs though... Sometimes it doesn't stretch to fill the post area, or a vertical scrollbar appears when there's not even enough text to warrant one. Anyone else seeing these? |

Oh. 
Well, everything else looks fine. The bullets are cool.  |

This is why you do not see it. |

I doesn't seem that much different, but it's still good.
I see no side scrolling. |

Er, what doesn't?
Personally I think it'd be better to do it the way some boards do and make each post a specific width. I'm not sure exactly how it works but if one post stretches way out, the rest stay their regular size. Then you could use the normal scrollbar to scroll them. I can't very well do that in a layout though.
Maybe I should take that big stretchy thing out now. You get the idea. |

Works fine for me, as long as I enable layouts (and yeah, that doesn't work in Internet Explorer) ... the only problem is that I can't scroll in the post with the keyboard, I have to either drag by selecting or use the scrollbar 
Doing this automatically for all posts might be good though |

XKEEPER WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR PUTTING A VERY LONG, VERY ANNOYING SCROLL BAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS WINDOW |

I wish Firefox came with computers....... I'm IE through and through. Mostly because Mommy wants it that way. |

Yeah, that's happened to me too. Random rendering bugs. (But hell, beats consistent rendering bugs the developers ignore.  )
With the scrollbar, I figured it's better to have to scroll the post area than to have the entire page stretch. I don't often post things that would stretch it anyway. (Of course, best way would be if I could encase entire blocks of stretchiness in boxes with their own bars, but I wouldn't count on that happening. )
I still can't seem to get it to take up all the space of the post area though. Notice how the last post's text doesn't stretch all the way to the end, so it's actually shrunk down to the text size. If I specify a width for the main table it stretches the page.  |

....or not.
At first it had a huge horizontal stretch, but I hit reload and it went back to normal. A few more reloads.. that was weird. I use Firefox.
Why do you need a left to right scrollbar? If you make a post with a lot of breaks, it'll get frustrating to scroll down, scroll right, scroll up, read, repeat. |

Please do... I don't see any scrolling problems. It might be an IE thing. |

The left to right scrolling is beyond maddening.
I'm going to assume what I see isn't what you intended, so I'll make an animated gif in a few. |

Yep, I updated my layout. (Note the version number. If you can't see it, hit ctrl+F5.) Changes include:
No more stretching! Post area now scrolls left and right if necessary. (Still stretches vertically though, because vertical scrolling layouts r teh sux0r.) - removed, caused too many weird bugs.
- Smaller title bar font, looks better in Linux.
- Links now have an invisible border, so things don't move when you hover over them.
- Custom list bullets.
- Code sections now scroll instead of leaking and stretching and use Courier.
- Shrunk links in link window so they don't wrap around as much.
- Changed title bar layout.
- Fixed title bar's close button.
- More stats and smaller font in Debug window.
Very nice feature more people ought to use (for that matter, implement it in the main board ): If I post something really long, instead of stretching the page, the entire post area scrolls to the right. Observe:
Removed the text. It just works the same way as the code box.
(Yay for <nobr>. ) Note, though, that a really long post does not scroll vertically. And the best part is, everything that doesn't stretch past the edge of the box still wraps normally. See how you don't have to scroll to read this text? I'm not sure the same is true of IE but it is in Firefox.
The same applies to individual code sections, which is especially nice because they used to have a tendency to really stretch things out. Check it out:
if(!IsComputerOn())
{
MessageBox(NULL,"Your computer is off... Wait, how the hell?","WTF?",MB_OK);
Panic();
}
I think I've got all the bugs worked out except one (that was me who made borders on all the links for a few minutes  ), hopefully everyone else will think so too. There might be a gap at the right, I couldn't help it without stretching the page a bit, but it doesn't seem to occurr often. It seems like sometimes the main post box stretches too far and forces the links window to be really small... I'm not sure if it's a layout problem or just a Firefox bug. (I've seen similar in other places and it seems to be random.) The only bug I know of for sure is that visited links don't have a border when you hover over them; can that be done? I don't see anything on any CSS sites for visited-hover.
