| Whenever I post in that thread, the text is incredibly tiny & hard to read. I've a feeling it's due to the links provided for the cheap games which stretches the screen. Is it just me with this problem? |

| It might be that, what device/browser are you using? |

| Can you give us a wee bit more info, Fancy? I've not personally noticed any problems, but then I'm posting from a device with a massive screen. |

| I'm using Safari on my iPad. Every other thread is fine except this one. The links posted have about 196,000 characters which go waaaaaaaaaaay to the right of the screen. |

| Jesus Christ! You made your point there, beemoh.
There must be an option to cap the number of characters per line... |

Itllbeinthe ...sorry, it'll be in the stylesheet somewhere- while you can't do much with the number of characters, you should probably be able to set a maximum width for the box the post is in, and force it to either create a line break, add a scroll bar or simply disappear if it leaves the bounds of the box. |

| One work around would be to try and use a link shrinker like bit.ly
It turns

into
