I find the horizontal scroll bars that appear every time someone uses a SCAR code box highly annoying... I can't say for others but I know I would be extremely grateful if this could be fixed.

Please scroll down for my conclusions on the cause and plausible fixes for this issue.

Me too, and I CANNOT stand this. I've never addressed it, but its EVER so annoyuing. I just started copying and pasting apps into SCAR to read them. Annoying.

My findings from digging through some source:

Sizing of SCAR Code box:


<table width=720px><tr><td class="smallfont">ScarScript:</td><td align="right" class="smallfont"><b>By Drunkenoldma</b></td></tr></table>
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:6px; border:1px inset; width:720px; height:498px; overflow:auto">

Widths highlighted in red are wider than the content area for a post.
One way to fix this would be by changing the highlighted widths for the SCAR Code box to 100%, but probably not the best.

Another problem is here in your CSS file: [http://www.srl-forums.com/forum/clientscript/vbulletin_css/style-9815e335-00016.css]


.vb_postbit
{
color: #283A5E;;
font: 12px verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
text-decoration: none;
width:700px;
padding-bottom:20px;
overflow:auto;
overflow-x:auto;
overflow-y:hidden;
}


If you noticed, the width in red font here is smaller than the width of the SCAR Code box, thus causing our need for unnecessary horizontal scroll bars.
I believe that increasing this value is the best way to fix our annoyance.

For those here who don't understand HTML/CSS increasing the width of the ".vb_postbit" area and/or shrinking the width of the SCAR Code box will fix the scroll bar annoyance.

I agree, its very anoying when your trying to read something and every time you want to scroll down you have to scroll across to see the scroll bar for going up and down and then scroll back so you can see all of the woeds

Is there a way so that when i open it, it will open larger because i have to resize it everytime i open scar because of how small the window is. Can i change that default size for when i open up scar?

Ohhhhhhh....wow i feel stupid lol. I thought you meant scar lol. I noticed that scar tags have that horizontal scroll bar also and i hate it. A lot of words are cut off to the right, but im too lazy to down to the bottom of the post to move it over to read those words that are cut off.

100% would just make it bigger since it goes by the window width.

How about just putting 600px lol.

Thats not how it should be fixed anyways, although it was my belief that 100% would change its width to the size of its container.
