Prefixes with long explanations

Hi, Asher,

Recently, when I have opened a "New Topic" screen on OPF, the "Prefix" text box was gigantically wide, with the result that the "Title" text box was off the screen to the right and horizontal scroll bars appeared.

A quick check suggest that this is due to the presence now in the list of prefixes of at least one with a very extended "explanation": "A Portfolio Series for Your Consideration: A series of [blah, blah, blah]."

I note that the "explanation" part of this does not appear in listing as part of the prefix, but still its effect on the format of the composition screen is disconcerting. It afflicts every attempt to create a new thread.

I don't know how this can be mitigated within the limits of the forum software, but this is worth looking at.

Best regards,

Doug

Yes, it is annoying. I had already noticed that and planned to correct it. Thanks for the jab!
