To be honest, I am not entirely sure I want that, but I might add it if public request is high enough.
Point is that as it is it is a pain in the a** anyway getting a layout working consistently with all browsers (with the culprit being IE). Now one would also have to determine how many characters fit into one table cell on all the browsers who might render some pixels off.
But to top that off: I would have to count characters that are getting echoed into the cells, but I could not correctly count html entities or links, since they are created/decoded/encoded at runtime. Best I could do is to wrap at 80 chars fixed or something like that, and that might look bad in your specific page layout.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I cant control the length of the messages. They dont wrap at any particular width.
This should be adjustable.

It would be great to be able to change the width of the forum!
Hi everyone,
didn't I get meaning of the post, or is this just a simple HTML + CSS problem?
What about some
.FieldInWhichPostIsDisplayed
{
max-width:500px;
}
and for IE (Micro$oft didn't care for the max-width attribute) it would be width:500px;
Shouldn't be difficult to determine what browser it is, considering a PHP script should be able to read the UserAgent field
IMHO, M$IE is *that* outdated, that it is acceptable to let the IE user feel some minor disadvantages - otherwise there will never be a change...
