Scroll bar in post..

[windsor]

Hey there. Im wondering if theres a way to add a a scroll bar to a post if they post author includes a very wide image in the post.
Right now if someone adds a image which is bigger than the width of my forum it will make the post wider so the whole image can fit in. This doesnt look very nice.

If a scroll bar was put at the bottom of the post then the width of my forum will not increase and you can still see the image.

Is there a way to do this?
My forum is http://advertise4free.org

Thanks in advance. I hope you understand.

Post div? I cant find that anywhere in the style css :S

 

[spyka]

it's div.postbody, something like:

div.postbody {
overflow:scroll;
}

In your case specifically, open:
/styles/polyethylene/theme/stylesheet.css


Find:

.postbody {
font-size: 1.2em;
line-height: 170%;
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}

Then apply Spyka's code. ~wink~

Ive put it there but no dice.
I just get a scroll bar which you cant move and the image still overflows.

This is my css code for postbody:

.postbody {
font-size: 1.2em;
line-height: 170%;
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
overflow:scroll
}

What happens if you add a width to the postbody div?

For example:

.postbody {
font-size: 1.2em;
line-height: 170%;
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
overflow:scroll;
width: 570px;
}

Its worked but now i got a scroll bar on every post which i dont really like the look of. Is there a way just to have the scroll bar on the posts which overflow the width of the forum?

Awesome 😀. I changed the "scroll" in the code to "auto" and it did it.
Thanks for the help everyone.
