Default Thread title broken in forum overview
hybrib just posted a new thread, called "Device/Harddisk1/DR2" - the bane of my exsistance. Normally a title would be broken in the overview, to prevent sidescrolling, but it seems the board also looks at the length of a word, causing the thread title in the overview to be .... See attachment to see what I mean

How odd, was this before or after the 3.0.3 update? Also is it still an issue?

Dunno and dunno. It happened just before I posted, so you do the math :P If this still is an issue, I dunno either, then I have to shamelessly bump the thread in question.

Happens to the Mozilla/Thunderbird/Firefox/IE/Opera/elinks/lynx/links/Netscape thread all the time. You only see The ... and that's it.

It also occurs if a thread title has a long name with no spaces in.
I have asked on the vbulletin forums if anything can be done.

Will most likely require modification of the function to show the first n characters even if there is no space!

Opened a case anyway:
