has horizontal scroll bars in more than one post, one of them mine.

I didn't consciously put the scroll bar in - can it be removed ?

Hi,

The scrollbar is appearing when the length of codelines exceeds a certain limit.
If you do not like them, then write shorter lines

kind regards,
Erik

Yeah OK, but I'm pretty sure the old version of the board didn't do this.

In my example, the code is actually a formula which just happens to be quite long.
Of course I can break it up, but it's going to be a pain to remember to do that . . .

indeed, it is part of the new software
in the former Board the lines were wrapped

Yes, I think wrapping was easier.
It meant you could just write or paste your formula in directly, without worrying how long it was, and anyone reading the post could see the whole entry in one go, without having to scroll it.
In my opinion, forcing people to scroll, or forcing posters to consciously avoid the need for scrolling, is a step backwards.
But I suppose I'll get used to it
