Photopost wrap flaw??

I'm looking for a photo gallery software for vbulletin - while reviewing the demo I found what looks to be a "wrap" flaw ...

The winning penalty - PhotoPost Photo Gallery

A user could come in and post an unbroken string of text and it could really throw off the sites layout.

I notice it seems to also affect this vbulletin layout - (better check mine as well) ...

Possibly this was something with VB 3.6.7 - I checked my forums 3.7.4 & another running 3.6.8 and I don't have this issue ...

Can anyone check their 3.6.7 forum and see if this has been corrected?

Thanks!

Well from what I know about the php wrap function you must actually have words or spaces for things to wrap. Doing a long string like that you can not wrap because there are no words or breaks

PHP: wordwrap - Manual

Like I said I tested the exact same string of text on my 3.6.8 forum and in a 3.7.4 forum and they both wrapped the string of text.

It must be an issue either with photopost and/or the version of VB on this site.

I guess I can join a forum/site that is running the lastest VB and test the string on their site - get the answer myself.

No I dont think it has anything to do with wrap. vbulletin could have some sort of other code that may break up single stings when a user messes up and does that but as I noted its not wordwrap and we do not wordwrap anyway in our program. We limit strings for display where we need to.

I went and tested photopost in a vb 3.7.4 gallery and it wrapped the string of text, so I figure its just in 'this' vb 3.6.7 version and not in photopost - possibly the templates on this site were edited and someone messed it up

Either that or IF there was an issue with VB they must have fixed the issue in later verions, but from what I found its just an issue with this site and not in the photopost product.

Now back to reviewing the photopost product a bit more before deciding.
