I could use some help. It has recently come to my attention that the channel description for my YT channel has wildly messed-up formatting. Briefly, the description stretches UNDER the list of related channels on the right side of the page and continues to a margin determined by the length of each sentence....waaaaaaaay off to the right.

Please take a look, tell me if you see that on your browser, and, if so and if you know, tell me what the fix is. I'm stumped.

Modern Blues Harmonica with Adam Gussow channel at YT

Interestingly enough, some big channels DO have the same problem and some DON'T. Hakan's, Hohner, David Barrett all have it. Christelle doesn't. This makes no sense at all. It's not an obvious browser issue.

I think you're right. I've just checked a number of other channels, much bigger than my own, and some of them look very wrong. Not all of them, but some of them.

In Firefox it runs out of the box like you are describing. In Chrome and Explorer it stays in the box but doesn't break the lines correctly, so wor
ds start on one line and end on the next without a "-"
(like that).

I tried testing it on my own page- even cut and pasted your text into mine and got the same results. Christelle's works, I think, because she has short lines separated by a return.

The simple, but not perfect solution, is to hit line breaks where you think the lines should break. That's not perfect though because they need to be in different spots depending on the size of the display someone is looking at it on.

Since it's not just you, and it seems to be slightly different in different browsers, it's probably best to grab a couple screen shots and post a report on the YouTube help forums. Do you know if it's been doing it for a while or is it something new that they might have just broken?
