Unfortunately, there is not a lot to be done about that. While whitespaces cause the text to be automatically wrapped, longer text, as in the post you mentioned, will cause the box to stretch endlessly.
 
@bossel:
Uhmm... this thread is for suggestions about what you'd like to see at the Nihongo Forum, not for complaining about overly long posts (which aren't even in the Nihongo forum) :p

I don't think there's much you can do... you would have to parse the entire text to see if it doesn't have a too long line, and if it had, force a break and re-format the text. This probably would eat up a good amount of server time 😌
 
i think it is perfect. no complaints. i am a satisfied customer
 
unless you edit the thread to put spaces in then it looks fine. :) (well on 1024x768 anyway)

lina this thread is for the forum as all whole not just the japanese section.

Ah well, it's not much of a problem anyway. As long as only the post where somebody wrote without spaces is affected, so what. But I used to visit another forum where one such post caused all other posts on the same page to spread to the same width. That could get quite annoying.

I'm one of the old-fashioned 800x600 users. For my 15" monitor this feels best. No money for something better. :eek:
But thanks for the reminder, I forgot that I should test the design of my website not only with different browsers, but also on different resolutions.
 
well... actually when i edited it i just made it so it would look right for me but you could do the same for 800x600...
 
I have a suggestion, but it's nothing major, really. I think it would be nice to have a section called "Birthdays" or "Happy Birthday." It's oftentimes difficult to locate birthday threads, and when they are placed among the other Chit-Chat threads, they get buried too easily. At present, some of the birthday threads are in the Community section, while most are in the Chit-Chat section. Is there a way to create a place for all of the birthday threads to be in one place so that they are easier to locate? It could even be a subsection of the Chit-Chat section or something. Just somewhere where we know we can find the birthday information. Like I said, it's nothing major, but it would make things easier, I think. Thanks!

Not sure if its been brought up or not, but why not a sex forum?

I dont mean pornography either. But many senior members here have been complaining that the forum is bland, and in every forum that I visit, a tactic used to combat this is a sex forum. Its always busy with perverts...er....mature adults. At any rate, there is a whole side of Japanese culture that hasnt really been touched at this place.

Are you talking about an "adult" section?
 
I have noticed in the "gallery" that there are several pictures of Japanese "babes"....however, how about displaying some Japanese "hunks" like Ken Watanabe?? *hint* *hint*
Just for us females who like looking at hunks rather than babes....:D
 
@Miss Apollo...
I added a new "hunk" to the male idol gallery just for you.
:D

THANK YOU Brooker! I especially love the pictures of John EDWARDS!! 🙏 😍 📣
John Edwards is just sooooo charming....😍 (shame he is married - not to me...)....:D
 
Glad you liked it. The John Edwards picture was the only one I added - because I know you like him so much.

Now that would be a really great idea! 👍
A forum where you could be a bit more "descriptive", or making some remarks which might go into a certain direction, without being reprimanded about it would be really appreciated :haihai:
I would've proposed this myself, but I didn't want to get chided again...
 
A sex forum? I'm sure there are lots of other places you could go for something like that. Besides, what would you talk about? "Oooh baby, yeah that's good, you know what I like"? OR "Bewbs are cool! Do you like bewbs too"? Yeah, that would be fascinating.
 
Lets be real. There is a huge side of Japan that dives into sexuality. This is a Japan forum. Put one and one together, and you've got a combo that just adds up.

I mean honestly, it makes sense. You've got music, anime, history, spirituality, but no sexuality?

And Brooker, c'mon. Think about it man. Its obvious that in a forum like that, set up with the proper boundries, it could be a nice read. Not just overt astheticism, but real discussions about intimacy with spouses *half of the adults here are married* or partners, or advice about future endeavors, or whatever.

And with mods like you and jei around, people who step out of line will quickly be put back in their place, what are you worried about?

And another note; look at half of the areas here that get such miniscule activity. This place is really dead at time, and there's no question about that. A forum with the potential for another side of intellectual/stimulating/gratifying conversation shouldnt be poo-poo'd so quickly just because you're afraid of a few morons and their comments.
 
I think you're talking about an "adult" section, as opposed to a "sex forum." I don't see anything wrong with adding a section like that, assuming it can be arranged. I'm just not sure how something like that could be set up to where people over a certain age can post there and those younger cannot. Of course, I'm a little computer-challenged at times, so what do I know?! :p But it would be nice if we could talk about more adult subjects without worry, I guess. For instance, I just posted a response to a thread at an equestrian forum called "Do You Talk During Sex?" Threads like that can be a lot of fun! And certainly the threads here about whether men pee sitting down or standing up and whether men are circumcized could definitely go into an "adult" section! I can't believe the intimate details I now know about some of the men here--and without ever sleeping with any of them! :eek2:

Btw, Miss Apollo, you are not alone about John Edwards. I have seen quite a few women go nuts over him. Personally, I liked the other men's photos. Who put those up? Whoever it was, thank you!! More male eye candy is always appreciated! 👍
 
Where Is Everyone????

It seems every time I check in , that guests outnumber the members by a large number. Would it be possible to somehow tempt them to use the Forum section open to them more often? Maybe "BOLD HEADLINE" something to attract their attention more and get them to leave coments. I hate seeing all those possible new members come & go; there must be a way to hook & reel some of them into our flock. Maybe some of our membership can come up with ideas to attract guests to join?

Hi Frank, nearly 50% of our guests are bots indexing the forum. However, there are several methods of attracting potential members to sign up, I will play with the forum templates this afternoon.

Thanks for kicking our lazy bu**s! 🙂
 
As Uncle Frank said it - something to attract their attention would be a good idea! :haihai:
