You've probably seen some topics that have fallen victim to thread stretching. A post in the topic contains some content - perhaps an image, a long line of text, or a code block - that causes the page to widen beyond your browser's viewport. A horizontal scrollbar is added to your screen, and you have to scroll the page to read most of the posts.

No Thread Stretch is a solution for this problem. Using a combination of JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets, it will cause the posts that would stretch a thread to appear with scrollbars added to the post. Your page remains the same size, so scrolling to read a message is only needed for the offending message itself.

Also includes instructions for the RedIce Template.
