From your admincp - vba cmps
Add new module
PHP file
Title - call it what you want
Active - yes
File to include - cmps_comments_block.php
Identifier - call it what you want
Link - choose either blog home or comments page as you wish
Save and add to the page of your choice, the module has been designed to be a left or right block.

Maximum Images Per Comment = 0

The in usergroups, under blog comments
Allow Smilies = no
Allow BB Code = no
Allow [IMG] Code = no
Allow HTML = no

That's Not a Solution; the Solution is that the Developer creates the Code/Plugin that Reads Each Comment and Cut the Long Words, and offer the Option to Set that Max. Number of Characters on Words; you can see that functionality on vBAdvanced for the Latest Threads/Posts Module, where they offer that Option (to Cut Words Larger than X Characters).

For Now with that Problem is not Possible to Use this Mod at least not without offering Forumers Less Options on the Blogs, which wouldn't be Atractive (Blogs would be Boring that way).

My Best Regards.

You are correct it is not a solution. Infact its a "work around" and in post 1 it is referred to as a "recommendation". I have provided a hack to the best of my ability that reaches the limits of my coding skills. It works, but its not perfect. Of course I would like it to work flawlessly, perhaps oneday, someone would like to work alongside me and improve it.

Until then, your option is to take it or leave it.

Of course you could always use one of the many other hacks that put blog comments onto vbA.....oh there are none .....perhaps that is a reflection on how difficult it is to modify?
