Notice the text going overboard.
The actual text is shown as bitmap. Probbably some bug in whatever software transforms text to bitmap.
That above is this in wrapped in a "tex" tag:
(TEX)
blblabla
ggggggggggggggggggg
blablabla
ffffffffffffffffffffffffff
fffffffffffffffffffffffff
ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
blablabla
blablabla
(/TEX)
Same happens with IE and firefox.
I say what I see. If you find my words offensive, then you find reality offensive.

That's the intended behaviour of the TeX language .

TeX is a markup language meant to output mathematical formulas. Hard line breaks are stripped from our TeX rendering system.
If someone is trying to write a complex mathematical formula, it would not make sense for hard line breaks to randomly be inserted because of the width of the DaniWeb layout. Additionally, because TeX markup is translated into a GIF image, there is no concept of browser-rendered soft returns.

TeX tags removed. When you come across something like that, report the post so a mod can fix it 
That typically doesn't happen b/c you kinda have to know tex code exists to use it. There's no button on the wysiwyg editor for it since it's intended for advanced users.
