I was looking for an old message that I posted, so I pulled up 'my messages' and clicked on the 'last' link. Seems you have an off-by-one. I have (until this!) exactly 3 pages worth of messages [I think], and 'last' took me to page 4. That page has none of my stuff on it, and a H1 of Latest Messages. http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Messages.aspx?fmid=3214823&fid=0&pgnum=4[^]

you fixed it by reporting; there should now be one message on the last page of "My Messages"
|

I did foresee that. Only another n-1 messages until it happens again, unless the hamsters get there first!

Back in July '06, you addressed an issue regarding unviewable text beyond the horizontal screen border. A similar issue still exists with the Messages.
It usually appears when someone posts code in their message. The code lines are wider than the message list and get chopped off with no means offered to view the hidden content. Making matters worse, the text of the message itself gets extended to that same width and the message becomes unintelligable because of the missing text. See the message from Kristian Sixhoej on this article[^] for an example.
Clicking Reply displays the message on a different form where the text wraps appropriately and is then readable. But having to start a reply is a lousy prerequisite for access to a readable message.

Assuming you are talking about this message, I can see the whole thing just fine, even when I make the browser window smaller. All I have to do is use the scrollbar to scroll to the right. I'm on XP SP3 using IE8. I will do a little test to see if I can create the problem here with a wider message in a PRE tag:
Begin_AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA_End

Ah, it works fine in IE8, but it gets chopped off in IE8 Compatibility Mode.

trying to break things around here?
FYI: word wrap needs words, not a single sustained guttural
and it won't work inside PRE tags.

A holdover from when I used to do QA, I'm afraid.

Scrollbars would be nice.

On a mobile phone maybe. On a computer screen, I don't want to scroll horizontally.
Keep your (source) lines shorter. Avoid 10-level indentation nestings. Keep things easily readable. etc.

The example given by the OP is a good one. It is a call stack. Stuff like that isn't worth adjusting line breaks to, and can actually make it more difficult to read. You scroll vertically review the important data in each line, then you can scroll horizontally to see more specific information (e.g., line number). A table of data would be another good example. Sometimes horizontal scrolling is useful.

Sometimes, that cannot be avoided, such as with complex XSLT.

yes, when all else fails, it could be useful I guess.

Testing scrollbars...

Ah yes, very nice. Note to self: always use horizontal scrollbars when replying to Luc.

Dang, the scrollbars only worked in the preview. Let me see if this works:

Dang, it wanted to work, but it didn't quite get there.

the mail notification had a hor. scroll bar; the above message on CP does not (FF3), but then that could depend on some settings.
BTW: while posting that, didn't you get a little message box asking "this message seems rather wide and uninformative. Do you really want to post it?"

It got you to inform me that the scrollbars show up in email notifications. Seems informative enough.

Apparently IE8 handles it better. I still have IE7, and there is no scroll bar. Upgrading to IE8 is not yet an allowed option.
I failed to mention that the area for message display does resize with the browser window, but the text width still matches the width of the PRE section. If the code lines are really long, like your example, they and the text outside the PRE tag get irretrievably chopped off at the column margin for the message list. I have a scroll bar for viewing all of your message as I type this reply, but in the regular display, I don't.

Unfortunately you're seeing problems with IE7's non standard rendering. FireFox, Chrome, Safari, IE8 all do the right thing, but getting IE7 to play properly, while not also breaking for the others, is painful and sanity shredding.

This is for Chris
We have wanted to donate robots to the best article prize pool for sometime. We are robot geeks and figured code project code geeks would love to win robots. I posted the question in the lounge to get some feedback. The response was pretty positive and the community suggested I put the idea in front of the man in charge so that is what I'm doing
Here is the thread:
http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=3561365#xx3561365xx[^]
If anyone else in here likes the idea, time to speak up is now :P
