lj cut... done to death

[low_delta]

for some reason I missed the most important reason to use the LJ cut - sidescroll.

If the picture you post is wider than a viewer's page would normally be, it will force the whole page to that width. If that width is wider than the viewers screen, a line of text will go off the screen. Then you have to scroll sideways to read it. I know I speak for many when I say that it is infuriating.

If you have a big picture, please put it behind the LJ cut.

I always have to remove people from my friends list (or default view, anyway), and I usually forget to oput them back.

I was going to reply to this by writing a diatribe in wordpad, then substituting the NBSP (non-breaking space) for all the spaces, just to make a horribly wide line of text, but I decided that being silly to you didn't justify having my head bashed out by 100+ people on my friends list...

Actually, there's an html tag for that. I'll have to look it up later.

Hmm. I was thinking of <nobr>, but that doesn't do what I thought it does. In fact, I'm not sure what it is supposed to do.

You know, it wouldn't be that bad if your line was longer than the rest of the comments or posts on the page. Scrolling over to read one long line of text is not so bad. The problem is when it's several lines. Then youi have to scroll back to the left and figureout which line you're on.

I'm running 1024 by 728. I'm not sure what resolution.

I do the same thing, remove people when they post a big photo, but I usually tell them I am doing it. I have my friends page set at 40 entries, and it rarely takes more than a day to cycle anyone off, and I THINK I have remembered to put everyone back. *grin*

I only just now remembered to put her back. Actually, I remembered several times today, but only now remembered long enough to do it.
