I've never had this kind of problem. I use IE6 (once again, no flames please :D ), and the text is perfectly alligned.

Yeah, for some reason Gecko browsers seem to like to out their text out of boundaries. It's annoying.

Ah OK, so it's a Mozilla Firebird thing. Now I understand.

I use Firebird, and I've never seen forum text jut out like that. Perhaps it's build or configuration-specific?

I've had it happen in Firebird. A reload of the page usually fixes it. Definitely a Gecko (or perhaps non-standard code) problem.

While I've never had this happen in Firebird, it would be a non-standard code problem, not a problem with the Gecko Engine...
It would probably be caused by vBulletin though, not Matt...

The vBulliten developers only use Gecko browsers. Generally vB bugs are in IE only, since they don't care about IE users. Which of course is dumb since that's what most people use, but let's not get into that. ;)

Well then it must be some sort of mod that Matt added...

phpBB is definitely my FAVOURITE board...
It's extremely fully featured, it displays correctly and fastly in all browsers...
And, of course, IT'S OPEN SOURCE!!!
