Auto wrap the text in forum posts instead of providing a horizontal scrollbar

    Description

      The forum software adds a horizontal scrollbar to text contents if it exceeds certain length. The horizontal scrollbar is pretty annoying in its current form. Here's an example forum thread http://community.jboss.org/thread/147854. As you can see the logs that were posted in the first post, have a horizontal scrollbar. However, to get to the horizontal scrollbar, the user first has to scroll down and then drag the horizontal scroll bar to a certain position and then scroll up to check the log contents at a specific line. This needs to be repeated until he finds the line of his choice. This is very annoying (http://community.jboss.org/message/525183#525183)

      It would be much more useful to do away with the horizontal scrollbar in that text and instead auto wrap the post contents (like the earlier forum software used to do).
