 * I’ve got a minor issue with FancyTooltips that has been bugging me.
 * When I have a post with a long title or URL, the FancyTooltip bubble expands 
   to encompass the entire title/url. This is a good thing, but because my list 
   of Recent Posts is near the right side of the screen, the bubble often expands
   past the browser width. The result is a flicker where scrollbars suddenly appear
   so the user could look at the entire bubble if they wanted.
 * Is there some way to change the FancyTooltip bubbles so they will not expand 
   that far? Maybe just get it to align differently or something?
 * You can see an example of the issue on my site if the post description doesn’t
   make sense.

 * You can try css settings in fancytooltips.css – that would be the place to start….

 * And do what in the CSS settings though?
 * Seeing as how the Java script file actually controls how the bubbles pop-up, 
   I would think this would be more of a Java issue than a CSS issue.

 * I edited the JS of the file and modified the url length.
 * Look for if(!nStringMaxLength){ nStringMaxLength = 80; } in the code and change
   the length to your liking.

 * Alright, modifying that bit of code fixes the length issue. If I keep it too 
   long(say, 40+ characters) then it still is a bit too large and expands the browser
   window though.
 * But I can live with setting it lower. I don’t forsee any need or reason for it
   to be 80 characters anyways. This little workaround fixes the problem easily,
   so I’m happy.
 * Thanks again, Cypher
