Is it all topics or only the ones that have a long link, like the ones to the Digitalarkivet, in them? On my browser when a link is long the topic table expands so the link is on one line. If a Hyper link is used (the button with a circle and link on it) the table stays normal size. Don't know if this helps but might explain what is happening.

No, it's not all topics. And a quick glance at the top ten topics seems to show that you're right.

It doesn't help, Carla, but I'm glad somebody else have noticed the "problem" - it wasn't just me (my computer).

This is, as said before Bjorge, not important. But the "narrow" topics make life easier...

Could you give me an example of a topic that wraps to fit your screen, and one that don't? I think Carla is probably right, when people do not insert a text as a description when posting a link, but inserts the entire address as description, this will happen.

THIS topic is an example of one that fits. One that doesn't is

"I don't have much info, what can I find out?"

...so if we do like this; http://www.rhd.uit.no/ftsoek/ftsoek.asp?kommando=bosted&ftaar=1865&spraak=engelsk_britisk&kommnr=1003&kretsnr=0149&bostnr=0149&leilnr=000 , this page doesn't fit anymore?

Just to confirm the theory, I can remove this link again afterwards...

Yes, that's it, and now it doesn't fit my screen either.
