Post was typed within the normal reply box. No copy/past from something else like notepad, etc..

BOTH IE and Firefox. In IE it reads normally, in Firefox it stretches the page like you are talking about John. In Firefox, the URL is all in one line, in IE it wraps around and the page shows correctly. I have no suggestions for fixing it but I'm just confirming what you have said.

There are many other posts for examples, but here are a couple of examples using Firefox version 1.0.6 when it contains a long URL:
