posts disappear in long threads

I have the following problem : When I answer back and forth to someone on a thread, the posts are showing more and more to the right until they finally disappear from the screen. The only option then is to answer directly from mail with of course no possibility to edit my posts, and the impossibily for a 3rd person to follow a conversation unless

The simple way? Go to the Customize Journal Style page and disable customized comment pages.

I haven't really learned a coding way to do this. I know that in some RP posts we've encountered threads that get too narrow to read etc. What we usually do in those instances is note in a reply that a new thread is starting and continue on from there. kind of a pita. I see the problem that you're talking about on your journal though. it just kind o runs right off the side of the page.

I suppose you COULD make it so that the indent for a reply is 0. Let me see if I can see the code for that.

Yah, okay... if you add this into your custom CSS box:

.comment-replies{
margin-left:00px !important;
padding-left: 00px !important;
}
That'll solve the problem. The difference being that you will no longer have ANY indent to your comments, so you'll have to keep track of who you're talking to. Alternately, you could set the margin-left and padding left to a smaller number like 1px or 2px so you have a TINY indent to set it off, and maybe then it would be less likely to run off the page in the course of a conversation. Hope that's

thank you so much for your time. :) I followed the advice of av8rmike, above, since it was so quick. It works but of course it doesnt look as pretty. So im keeping your coding anyway, just in case ! :D
