I'm not sure if this has been explained before, but the following shows how one can edit the code and php vB code so that they don't stretch your forum tables. It's similar to the way it's done at vbulletin.org

Enter the Admin Control Panel and go to the Style Manager.
Choose the style you wish to edit, and select Edit Templates.
Navigate to bbcode_code under BBCode Layout Templates
Replace the existing code with the following:


<br />
<div style="border: solid 1px #000000; padding: 5px; background-color:white; color:green; width:90%; height:150px; overflow:auto;">
<pre style="white-space: auto" dir="ltr">
$code
</pre>
</div>
<br />


Navigate to bbcode_php under BBCode Layout Templates
Replace the existing code with the following:


<br />
<div style="border: solid 1px #000000; padding: 5px; background-color:white; color:green; width:90%; height:150px; overflow:auto;">
<pre style="white-space: auto" dir="ltr">
<!-- php buffer start -->$code<!-- php buffer end -->
</pre>
</div>
<br />




Hopefully this feature will be implemented in the final VB3 style! Enjoy!!

Hi there :)
Thank you for posting :)

Thank you for this little modification it's of use :)

Cool! I like your mod. I had to shorten the width to 70% on our board but it looks great!!

Wonderful template job I'll use it as soon as i have time to install it.

Glad you guys enjoy it! Note you can change my width:90% to any relative value or to an absolute amount such as 400px

Very useful! Nice mod. :)
