| Is it possible to enforce a maximum widths for lines within code tags? At the moment, if someone post 100's of characters on a single line within code tags, the forum renders that in a single line. The makes some threads difficult to read. It might be a good idea for the forum software to somehow limit this to say 120 characters, at which point a CR will be inserted. Failing that, perhaps moderators could edit such code when they see it, or ask the person who posted it to edit it. There's really no need to have such a large number of characters on a single line.There are 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary, and those that don't. |

| I made a suggestion in the thread that Madhi points to - specifically this post:http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=140635#552885One thought: Could perhaps have some SQL that SPLITS the lines in a Code Block (in order to get the Max Line Length) and rejects it if too long.Suggestions for suitable validation errors messages pls?, I'll kick off with one:"You call that formatted? Pah!" |

| I think there was something, way back?, that could colour code SQL submissions? Maybe that could be leveraged for line-width too ...... but I don't see much appetite to modernise the forums at all here, which I think is a pity. |

| Start a new thread for "Threads that need MOD editing" ? (i.e. like the SPAM thread)... just a thought ... |

| Indeed, on past performance, but I think it does at least put it in a place where some batch admin MOD-ing can be done. |
