Hmm... One wonders, again, just HOW backwards...
...the U.S.A. is, in some respects. BRoomy writes: Pull out the crutches. [...] But Ben can't use crutches, his shoulders dislocate. Do you *still* use those mediaeval torture instruments, "crutches" that go up into your armpits? Haven't seen those here in the Nordic countries for, hmm... About thirty years, I guess. For good reason, I think. (Side note: Quit with the stupid hard returns *within* paragraphs, BrooM. WTF are they supposed to be good for?!? My browser knows to size the lines to its window; if *I* want it to show everything narrow, I just resize its window narrow.)

Interesting
Other than wheel chair (which is what we just
rented for the week), what options do you
suggest?
And no, until the Admin bans me from embedding
CRLFs, I will continue to do it.
My brain can't handle lines wider than what I hit
enter on, and squishing the browser skinny makes
everything else yucky.
Also, sometimes unlimited width boxes create a
window slightly large that the width of the
screen. No matter how much wider I resize the
browser, the windows grows a bit more, always
forcing left/right scrolling. So I'll attempt
to never trigger that.
Peter yelled at me a while back for the same
reason. Something about it pissed you people
(over the pond) off.
Sorry.

Painfully
With left and right scrolling or head movement.
Sometime by squishing the browser, but I'd
prefer not to have to reach for the trackball
if possible.

I'll keep that in mind. What's your preferrred width?

You should set a local CSS file
You can control the max width of the content panes pretty easily that way, and you should be able to do the text entry pane as well.
Better that than everyone hitting 'enter'.

Find your profile directory
and in it, there's a subdirectory called 'chrome'. In it, create a file called 'userContent.css' (there's an example file included by default in most distributed versions of Firefox). Any CSS rules you want to apply, put in that file and restart Firefox. For example, to enforce a maximum width of 200px for all text, you could use this: \r\n\r\n p, blockquote, pre, ol, ul, dl, dd, dt, li, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, input, textarea, legend, select, q { max-width: 200px!important; }
\r\n\r\n I think that'll cover all the commonly-used text elements. It may cause some problems with certain sites' layouts, but not as many problems as if the rule were broader. --\r\nYou cooin' with my bird?

Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.

Have you tried all the options?
Barry (doesn't answer, but) asks: Other than wheel chair (which is what we just rented for the week), what options do you suggest? You didn't answer my question, so I don't know if this is superfluous, but here goes: In case you ARE still using the idiotic armpit-crusher crutches, I suggest getting a pair that *don't* go up into the user's armpits. I can't say for sure, of course, but it feels to me that the normal (in civilised countries) kind, the ones that go halfway up one's forearm, should be *much* less likely to dislocate one's shoulders.

its the excess downward pressure on the arms that dislocate
the shoulders, not the numbing armpit busters.

Sorry, thought the question was rhetorical
Yes, we still use them.
And I don't know if the short ones would be better.
We could try.
MRI is tomorrow, hard cast goes on after that.
And while we may be in the barbarical USA, one
thing I notice is we tend to have MRI availability
for non-life threatening issues far faster than
what I've heard about in Canae.
Any north of the border care to chime in to tell me
if this is BS?

Yep, it's true
'course, we don't have any families going bankrupt over medical costs, so I guess it's a wash.

MRI verbal came back
Ankle surgeon was very sad.
Listed about 1/2 dozen things, mostly bad, things like tendons seperated from bones. Bruised bones. Variety of tears.
Put in a hard cast for now, set at an angle that makes it 100% impossible to walk, even by accident.
Give it a couple of weeks to see if it starts to resolve.
If not, the surgery means pullin the tendons down, drilling holes though various bones, pulling them through and affixing them in place.
I think I'm going to forward the MRI study to the original Dr. and put a simple cover letter on it.
How about:
Yo, Fuckwad!
