[Forum] Thread Title Wrapping

[s0lidgr0und]

On pages such as New Posts and forumdisplay, how would I go about having the thread title wrap to a second or third line instead of just truncating it?

[sulasno]

have you tried increasing the number of characters?

[s0lidgr0und]

Yes. That seems to increase the number of characters you can input as the title, not how many are displayed in New Posts.

Without editing the template, the only thing I can think that you can do is change overflow to wrap in .searchtitle and then you'd have to add "clear:both" to .threadbit .threadmeta

Thanks, Lynne, but that didn't do what I was looking for. In fact, it made it uglier. I'll submit a ticket.

To anyone interested, here is the response I received regarding the ticket I submitted.

Hi William,

There isn't really another 'fix' for this. If the title wraps, then the images do weird things to the row the thread title is in (as you have seen). If you don't have images there, and have the row all the same color, then it may look better for you. However, the other option is to rewrite the threadbit template (or search_threadbit template). If you need help with that, then you should ask for help over on vbulletin.org.

While I appreciate the honesty of the response, and I find it unacceptable and yet another step backward for the software. I shouldn't have to edit anything to get something to display properly.
