Hi guys.

vB3's looking nice nice so far, just noticed a couple of things when playing around tho. Not sure if they've already been covered but thought I'd give a heads up :)

I'm using the WYSIWYG entry btw.

1) There's no wrap on the text boxes for a long continuous word.
ie:
texttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttextte xttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttexttext

just keeps going, and produces a horizontal scroll bar :(

2) This probably is beyond your control, but the carriage returns in the reply boxes are massive. Like an extra line gap between each one.

Reading about, they are aware of this one, where enter inserts a <p> like thing, and SHIFT+ENTER inserts a <br> like thing.

Tho asif youd use wysiwyg :p

Dunno.

The ENTER and SHIFT+ENTER thing is standard windows conventions. To change it would mean it would be different then 99% of Windows programs.... not a good thing to do.

The MSHTML editor is supposed to have a control that allows you to instruct the editor to insert <div> tags on a carriage return, rather than the default <p> tags. This would be infinitely preferable... And if anyone knows how to do it, tell me!
