I know we can control the wrapping of long words via vB options, but what about sentences. Our sentences in our forum are wrapping at about 100 characters. I have the long word set at 75 and it works perfect, but is there a hack or code modification that sets the wrap for sentences?

Thanks!

Unless everyone posted in perfect grammer. I don't think this is possiable. Maybe I misunderstood your question.

I don't see how it could have anything to do with grammar.

Check out our forum and see how the sentences wrap at about 100 characters. I'm not sure why it wraps like this. Many vB forums, including this one here, does not wrap until it fills the full width of the page or text area of a post.

In our forum the above sentence would look more like this (actually this is a little shorter than what ours wraps but you should see what I mean):

Many forums that feature this are having issues with certain urls being cut off too, so if you want to cut off sentences based on character count or between ".", make sure you check for [/] [] [img] [url] etc.
