How to avoid posts larger than browser screen size

You've all seen it. The post with a very long sentence that pushes the view window width out of sight.
Example: http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/postx4995-0-0.html

I've tried several suggestions/solutions and none have worked. Before I make this my life's mission, has someone got the solution?

That post displays ok for me, the long url posted there shows as 13 lines to me and not one long line.

Regardless of the theme?

Good question, no, i'm using fisubice.

Me too. I'm on v6.9 Nuke, so either my fisubice is not correct or the forum files aren't. I'm still using a way old version of phpbbtonuke but it has been security patched. Would you try another theme to see if it's a forum level or theme level issue and let me know? My bet is it's a forum level but I just want to know for sure. Thanks!

Raven,
I've tried all three themes that you allow and I see it as Chat does. HOWEVER, I have seen this issue several times within these forums, so I'll keep an eye out for them and what might be the "clue"...

So this post http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/postx4995-0-0.html doesn't just roll on and on and on? Hmmmm. Must be nice .....

As I said, must be nice ......

Raven,
If Chat and I are seeing it fine, could it be the browser you are using? I am using IE 6.0+

I tested in firefox and the window got stretched.

That's the difference ROTFL

I've gotten so used to FF that I truly have forgotten about IE Laughing

. Guess it's time for bed. Today has been a very long week. Now we need to fix the code so FF handles it. Thanks!
