Topic: Space added by forum where no space put there by poster (Read 624 times)
Fixed, thanks all.
The space is due to the way some browsers parsing the html code.
I see this as the raw html
Notice the span injected in the middle of the signature. Not sure how you got part of the signature ended up inside a different div tag but different browsers are going to parse that differently. Chrome adds no spaces or line breaks but the html "standard" is more like a guideline and different browsers = different outcomes. Not sure the exact reason the forum's parser interprets a long string that way but as indicated above using code tag is a workaround.
Using code tags:
Produces the following html:

Very long unbroken words have spaces inserted into them so that they don't make your post too wide. You can avoid this by putting the text into [code] or, if you're OK with having your entire post scroll horizontally, [nobbc].
It doesn't show a space in Chrome, got a screenshot of it showing in another browser?
Copy and paste it into Notepad (if you use windows)
Or double-click the text. That should select the entire block, but it stops highlighting at the W. I can take a screenshot, but the space is barely perceptible even at max zoom (just before it line-breaks it).

Note the space inbetween the W and the y towards the end, especially apparent when you copy and paste that text. I didn't put the space there, and it doesn't show a space while editing.
Space error first appeared (for me) here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3220444
That's very odd - it doesn't even show in the source html.
Never mind, it shows up in IE as well. I thought it might be browser specific post html processing of some sort.
