Recently, I've been noticing how some of the words in the posts have been getting cut off in the middle and skipping down to the next line. Like this. This hasn't been happening with any other website I visit, however. Either there's something wrong with the forum or my brower is fucked up. Anybody else have the same problem?

Yeah, I see it a lot as well. Started out with Meat's posts, now it's just about everyone.

I haven't the faintest idea what the heck you're talking about. Everything looks fine from here.

I've had similar issues with other forums in the past, but CYD works fine on Firefox.

I think he's saying that the word wrap isn't cleanly forcign words to the next line, rather, it's doing a hard return mid-word.

Can't reproduce. Just like you. BURRRNN

Never mind. It's working fine now.

I had the same problem some hours ago. Made a screendump:

I guess it's kind of a moot point now, as everything seems back to normal again.

STRANGE INDEED. I haven't had this happen to me once, using IE and Opera. Finally a valid reason for someone to inform us of their browser and you failed, Paul. :x

I've had this problem before. I'm pretty sure restarting firefox fixes it.

Oh, who can withstand such a politely phrased request for info?

This was using IE on a Fujitsu Siemens PC running Win 2000 Pro while drinking coffee with milk. Never seen that sort of forum weirdness before. And everything looked fine when checking the same page of the same thread on a Mac using Safari. I think it was the milk. I wanted full-cream milk in the coffee, but there was only low-fat milk in the fridge. Hey weird_guy_in_the_corner, what were you drinking with your browser? But then again:

I guess it's kind of a moot point now, as everything seems back to normal again.

Milk plus vellocet, duh.

Never had the problem. Looks like both IE and Firefox are doing it.
