How do I force word wrap for long words?

[richy96]

Hi folks

No doubt this has been asked and answered but I probably am not uing the correct search terms

How do I best prevent users from entering long string of characters like this?


************************************************** ***************

Or at least limit the length they can enter?

Or force a line break when the forum posts are displayed?


Problem I am having is with threads that have long lines of characters, displaying too wide on my mobile version of my site.

See images below, first one is displaying OK, second one is not due to long line of ******* forcing some of the text off the viewport on mobile devices, and also shifting the nav buttons and other screen elements to the right

Cheers
Rich
PS getting image attachments to dynamically resize to mobile screenwidth was a bit of a b^tch but I sorted that one
