Recently posted to the "Problems with Rosetta 5.80" thread. I had so much difficulty trying to read that thread that I may have missed noticing similar problem reports from other participants.

The problem was the __number-of-characters__ assigned to each text line of that thread, as formatted by my browser. Only about half the width of each line could be displayed on my screen (at maximum browser window stretch) -- meaning that for *far too many* lines I would have had to scroll horizontally (each line !!) in order to read that line.

My guess is that some people "pasted" information into the thread, which required that much horizontal extent. Nevertheless, PLEASE enforce a reasonable right margin for the formatting of text lines for forums. There are many more viewers of the forum than there are posters -- to me it makes sense to inconvenience the former rather than the latter.

Thanks for pointing that out, I found a wide image incorporated into one of the posts and have now hidden it, so the margins on the thread should be better. If you get a chance, it would be worth mentioning that type of problem on the BOINC boards.

This would be one of the "Web Interfaces".

Did mention it there - one response was: "it's not an image. It's Message 46685".
However, this too was said: "... the patch was already made (SVN changeset 12620 - http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/changeset/12620), so Rosetta probably isn't using latest stylesheet file."
