This is the second time in a row that I've been unable to read a page on my laptop because you insist on posting quotes like that. Cut that shit out, please.

- DLWormwood 18y agoHear, hear! Whatever Hacker News is using needs to force wrap pre-formatted text! I feel like I'm reading Slashdot in the late 90's because of it...
- ars 18y agoI hate that too. The solution for me is to install the 'Nuke Anything Enhanced' addon, then remove the offending lines.
- natrius 18y agoBetter solution: Install the Stylish extension and add a white-space: pre-wrap rule for this site.

- jyothi 18y agoI don't see why I who commented on a valuable takeaway from the post should be downmodded for this and your comment is upmodded. Yours is the one irrelevant to the post. PG, please add a official Don'ts in formatting. It is nothing but natural to quote elsewhere on the web.
- handelaar 18y agoTrying to be more specifically helpful, since I don't think I conveyed exactly what the objection was the first time (or at least not so well that you understood): It's not that you quoted. It's that the quote is wrapped in <code> and <pre> tags, and that breaks the layout for lots of people. I'm asking you not to do that, because its effect is obnoxious.
- eru 18y agoOpera handles this intelligently, it seems. (Or the bug/feature is already fixed.)
