It's in the usual place but may not be on your screen because horizontal scrolling has been triggered. Stay near the top and scroll to the right.

Ah thank you.

Is there a preference setting to prevent horizontal triggering (aka wrap)?

robg would need to answer that as I don't know anything about Geeklog. AFAIK we users can't disable it once a previous post has caused it with a long line containing no spaces or just non-breaking spaces. I would be pleased if we could - it's a nuisance on all sites when it happens.

We can, though, be kind to others by doing this!

Should have this added to the MacOSXHints [pre] tag styles CSS:

Please have exact change.

The problem isn't the pre code -- well, yes, that's a problem as well. However, if you look at what caused the screen to grow horizontally in this thread, it's a long line of JavaScript *plain text*. However, there aren't any spaces in the JavaScript, so the browser can't figure out where to break it.

I'm not aware of any CSS to handle wrapping of indeterminate-length pure text strings -- but if such a thing exists, please post it!
