So yeah if somebody with a very long field in their postbit (Like a detailed entry in the location field) posts when you're displaying the site in a narrow window (like using Aero Snap to tile windows side-by-side) their posts will break tables which could potentially cause some nasty-ass scrolling.

You might wanna look into that.

If you have your browser condensed halfway because of window snapping or something, you have to sort of expect horizontal scrolling on a lot of sites. The max length of the location field is 70 characters and I think that's just fine. If you don't want them scrolling on you, you can always disable all the longer fields from the postbit whenever you condense your browser side by changing your postbit elements in Edit Options.

also we are only really concerned with elements that break page display at our expected fixed res range which is currently 800 - 1200px width range with most newer themes shooting for 1000px or so.
