Message content hides reporting options

Looking at this (spam / trolling) message: fifth[^] The two "background-image" lines contain a long line of unbroken Base-64 data. This causes the table to expand a long way past the right-hand edge of the screen, which hides the reporting options.
Using the browser's developer tools to add a "max-width" to the message table cell brings them back into view. 
However, this isn't particularly obvious, and probably shouldn't be necessary.

We are in the process of rewriting the forums so these kinds of issues should be fixed (and a fresh batch of new issues added, of course!) The general layout of these forums is from 2001. It's crazy. I was thinking about it this morning and how we used to use 1x1 pixels to provide spacing and shaping, and how rounded corners used to be really painful and ugly[^]. Flexbox is now available everywhere it matters and so it's past time we move on too.

... which brings up an interesting (tmm) funny programming point ... when does fair use kick in when copying and pasting a screen image in a forum like this one ... with regards to another devs' code? Well, it's a haha to me anyway. (no disrespect to RD intended)

I would think standard "fair use" provisions apply always ;)
