Really? It doesn't seem to do that for me. I've had a couple forum pages stretching over to the right because of images. Maybe because I'm using IE?

Ahh… I remember Volte saying that IE users were going to have some trouble with some of the features of the site. Maybe that's one of 'em.

I kind of like the width too, it's easier to read things on a computer screen when they are in narrower columns. I'd worry about pictures or something stretching the table out though.

That means no more of those retarded image macros. :D

Or at least keeping them under a certain size.

I'd actually like the big images not to be able to change the width. So, you'd have to scroll over.

… I said the same thing.

nono. I actually don't care if the images are too big.
As long as they down break the table.

That's what I don't like. Although, I don't mind if they do that IF it only affects the one post. It's really terrible when ALL the posts on the page scroll too far to the right because of an image in one post. I've seen forums though where each post is treated individually so if there is a table-breaking one, it only breaks in the one spot and not all the way down the line.

Oh, yeah. I forgot that all of the posts would be like that too, then.

Forum images have a max-width CSS property set to 600 pixels wide… this should keep them small on many browsers.

Unfortunately the feature isn't fully supported accross browsers … I think IE6 doesn't support it… ( It works in my IE7 ).

So this should be more or less a decent fix. An alternative "Supported Feature" would be to make images a maximum width and anything over that adds scroll bars for the image.. but that's so oogly!

…Oh, editing fixed.

If it turns out that the current max-width fix isn't good enough I could always split every post into it's own table or something that would allow individual stretching… I just prefer a more elegant solution if possible.
