the [code] tag window is very narrow

Is it possible to get the
Code:
 tag window to span wider across the screen? At the moment it is so narrow that it makes it incredibly frustrating to read someone's code.

Making it variable width would be awesome, because then it's width would be relative to your browser window size.

[CODE]This is a test. Notice that, as I write more and more, this sentence will eventually go out of the bounds of the window, and you will have to scroll further right to read to the end of the sentence.

That's what I was thinking too. I guess you can always hit enter though.

Code:
Like this

But yeah, if you want to read a code, it is harder.

Well, I think since WE Triggers keep going, so does the Code. If someone posts a long trigger, it won't break down into paragraph.

Although it would be nice if it didn't stretch the page :p

Codes don't stretch the page, there is a scrollbar. o_O

But for non WE related stuff or maybe a changelog or something, it can get annoying.

Well the code stretched my page :( Maybe it's a firefox only thing.

can you post a screenshot please? I switched over to IE and it didn't change anything for me (I'm using IE7).

The main reason I brought the issue up was because, when people do a "copy as text" on a trigger and then paste it into here, it's only natural that a portion of the code will be out of the code window, and you will have to scroll across to read it all. I find this extremely frustrating.

The workaround I am using for this problem right now is to highlight the whole trigger and then copy and paste it into notepad.

At the bottom right you can see it stretches it a little...

Change logs and anything else related should be a quote. Not code.

Well the code box isn't supposed to "word wrap", if you've ever used a text editor designed for programming you probably noticed word wrap isn't enabled by default.

Although I agree, with wider resolutions there is some room for it, and with smaller ones its kind of the opposite.

I suggest giving the CODE div a 10% margin on both sides and a min-width of about 500-600px :)

Except that IE6 doesn't know about min-width, so ugly CSS hacks would be necessary.
