How about cribbing from something like this:

Shorter URL link (Hyper linked for example)

write a little wrapper-script to start chrome. example:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
export http_proxy="http://Proxy:80" #Fill in your data
export https_proxy="http://Proxy:80" #Fill in your data
google-chrome #or whatever the startcommand for your package is
exit

save this in your path e.g. in /usr/local/bin as start-chrome, make it executable. if you start it with start-chrome now, it should work.

Hyper linking will tame those ultra long URLs which stretch
the width of the forum pages.

I'm using Firefox, and it just wrapped the URL line on my screen.

The SeaMonkey project is proud to present SeaMonkey 2.2: The new major release of the all-in-one Internet suite is available for download now! Building on the same Mozilla platform as the newest Firefox release, it delivers the latest developments in web technologies such as HTML5, hardware acceleration and improved JavaScript speed.

SeaMonkey 2.2 is available in 21 languages, for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

Most notably, this release features for the first time:

Added support for CSS animations.
Tuned HTTP idle connection logic for increased performance.
Improved canvas, JavaScript, memory, and networking performance.
Improved standards support for HTML5, XHR, MathML, SMIL, and canvas.
Improved spell checking for some locales.
WebGL content can no longer load cross-domain textures.
Background tabs have setTimeout and setInterval clamped to 1000ms to improve performance.
Fixed several stability issues.
Fixed several security issues.
Fixed several high visibility usability issues from SeaMonkey 2.1.

For a more complete list of major changes in SeaMonkey 2.2, see the What's New in SeaMonkey 2.2 section of the Release Notes, which also contain a list of known issues and answers to frequently asked questions.

Yes, I frequently browse with Puppy 3.01 (SeaMonkey) on this
older hardware and long urls can show up as very wide screens.

Certain forums have the ability to put the long url into a separate
scalable window while retaining normal width for thread discussion,
but our forum here doesn't.

I'll try Quirky with Firefox to see if it handles it differently.

Yes, Firefox in Quirky wraps it, so apparently it can be a browser
thing...
