I'm sure ten zillion people have already done this, but...

If you're using Safari, Opera, or any other arguably overly-text-standards compliant browser, and you have your friendslist suddenly get INSANELY WIDE because someone posted a big graphic or some big line of dashes or some other stupid-ass thing, and if that drives you as BATSHIT INSANE as it drives me, you can use the friendslist style sheet I just made to solve that problem. It's based on the default style, it's public, it uses your defined colours. Style number 439972 - la la la!

EDIT: firni tells me that it happens in IE, too. I thought IE force-wrapped the text. It should work fine for IE users, too.

That happens to IE when people post humungo pictures, too.

Really? I thought IE overrode the wrapping. Cool, then it's useful for more people. ^_^

It used to happen to me when this smeghead on my friends list (who isn't there anymore, surprise!) would post stuff in the biggest font he could think up. I had to come up with a filter to ignore his posts, then gave up and just banned his happy ass.

P.S. happens in Firefox, too.

THANKYOU!thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthanyou...

I should have done this myself, but I'm too lazy to learn how :-)

Drat, worked exactly once, then stopped. What do I have to edit on my own page to make inserted pics cut down?

[solarbird]

It should let you just use it. You have to change your Friendslist style to the one I made, and then click "SAVE" down at the bottom of the page.

If that doesn't work, I'll give you the code necessary to create your own style. It'll be cut-and-paste, no problems.

If you'd give me the code to cut and paste I'd appreciate it greatly.

Thanks!

Sent to you in email. Hopefully the snowcloude address is still current...
