As far as I can tell, right justification on things like this is the standard. Look at the bugs page, for instance. http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=24 > Done, except the <pre>, since then lines are not broken automatically > anymore. Considering people will commonly be providing code snippets in their comments -- as happens in the PHP manual -- pre is important. Long lines can be broken using wordwrap(). Hmm... Perhaps something can be done with style sheets to make it use a fixed width font and care about white space for indenting but also do line wrapping? It's late and I'm tired, so I haven't thought this through. > >Also, I think the form for new comments should be underneath the existing > >comments.

To me, it seems most people will be interested in just reading the comments. Only a few people will contribute. So, let's make it easy for the vast majority. Thanks for tweaking the layout of the output. Some more ideas. For the sake of brevity, I suggest the format be "2004-05-15 22:30" This stuff isn't THAT time sensitive that we care about the day of the week or the time zone, let alone the seconds. With that and a slightly smaller font, we can get the name/date to fit on one line.
