To quote Frank...
Don't you just hate it when someone post some really long code or big image here and it breaks the page width?
Plus, he posted the code to fix it for those guys as well.
I put that code in my "userContent.css" file but it hasn't stopped large code boxes from breaking the forum layout, as I assume it should:
Code: Select all
/*.......Frank Resize wide post pages - put in userContent.css.........*/
div.postbody {
max-width: 650px;
overflow: auto !important; }

@amrad: This alone works for me -
Code: Select all
div.postbody {
max-width: 650px;
}
You may need to adjust the '650px' to fit your browser window.

Wouldn't hurt to sling in an !important at the end maybe, just in case an extension is forcing width. Mind you, in 10+ years of using that I've never come across an extension that did that.
The easiest 'workaround' is just to go to another page in MozillaZine...ain't like there's a lack of choice.

I tried that, it made no difference, regardless of the value of
n px.

Did you restart SeaMonkey after adding/changing that code?
If so, can you please post your full userContent.css?

Where is your
userContent.css file located? Path is case-sensitive.

There's your problem, it's not quite in the right place. Move it to
Code: Select all
C:\Users\Dave\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\b7byoafv.default\chrome\
If your profile folder does not contain a "chrome" folder, go ahead and create it.

Thanks, that fixed it. I just left it where I found it!
