    the width is fixed.

This is a problem for me too. Not because I have a widescreen monitor, but because I never run any app full screen. My Web browser is about 800 pixels wide, no matter what size screen I'm using. About half of the third column is off the edge of the page.

This isn't a problem that's unique to Hubski, but I liked the fact that Hubski used to word-wrap to my browser's size, instead of making me scroll left and right, or making me go fullscreen and read 50 words to a line.

Interesting, I didn't suspect that it might come up too wide. A possible solution to this might look a bit odd; it might force the posts into two columns. Would you be ok with that?

Yes, that would work.

I'm just curious, how does Hubski look on mobile phones with the new design?

here is what it looks like on my iPhone. I've not played around with it much.

it actually works pretty well. When the posts are limited to that width, a quick double tap brings one column into view at a time... not a bad touch (even if unintended)

I'll take credit for it, unintended as it might be.

you deserve a TON of credit. You took some existing code. You learned to re-code. You created a community. Amazing stuff mk... truly amazing stuff.

(and I know you had help - so all you behind the scenes people that none of us know about who help, dream, and consult in little ways... I'm looking at you and saying cheers)

Good call steve!! This will really come in Handy for me. I wonder if that should be a function on the computer too? Click a column and it populates like a pop-up down the center much like the previews do now. Thanks for the heads up steve, I'll use that often.
