The forums work fine at 1024x768 with no horizontal scrolling.

However, I have seen some forums where members have posted topics or replies containing code sections with very long lines. The nature of the code tags is to not impose any formatting on the content inside of them and let the poster format the text anyway they want. Therefore, any long lines inside of code tags will not be wrapped and could cause horizontal scrolling in the browser.

If this is a problem, then I would suggest asking the posters to be aware of how wide their posting is - and possibly reformatting it so it's more readable for everyone.
