On some posts I read the line length extends beyond the size of my forum viewing area. I cannot find any setting for wordwrap? Forum setting? Browser setting for the forum?

Is there a way to cause the postings for a thread to sort in newest post first order?

The culprit is code posting. Code in effect gets wrapped in <pre> (preformatted text) tags and doesn't line wrap. I've taken to being very careful when posting code and making sure that I have line breaks at 60 columns width.

That is something that all persons who post code should be aware of. I had to learn the hard way. We can ask folks with really wide code to go back in and edit, I suppose.

I came across one post that was so wide I had to go into the next room to find the right side of the page. :p
