 * Tobias,
    I’ve been using your plugin on several of my sites for some time now.
   I’m in the process of adding a table on one of my sites replacing the “Table”
   that is located in the WP Edit menu. Could you take a look at my site page and
   tell me what exactly is going on to make the table extend off the right side 
   of the page and what is causing the last column to be so narrow. I would like
   for all columns to be more uniform in width. This is a Membership site and you
   may not be able to view it. I could furnish a screenshot if I knew where to send
   it.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Yes, to find out more here, I’d need to see the table. If possible, I’d like 
   to take a direct look at this on your site. Could you therefore please get in
   touch via email (the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”)? That
   way, I can investigate this directly. Thanks!
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Hi,
 * ok, I was able to take a look now: There’s nothing really broken with your table,
   you are simply suffering from the problem that the content in your tables requires
   more width than what’s available.
    This is mainly caused by those very long website
   addresses/URLs in your table. As those are treated as one very long word by the
   browser and as they don’t contain hyphens or spaces, the browser simply can not
   add word-wrapping to make them stand on more lines of text. Due to this, the 
   column simply gets very wide. The best workaround that I see would be to not 
   show those links with the URL as the link text, but to give them shorter/descriptive
   link texts. Using the “Insert Link” button (or by manually changing the HTML 
   code), this should be very simple.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Thanks, Tobias
    That makes sense. I figured it was more me doing something wrong
   rather than the plugin. I’ll make those corrections and see what the results 
   are.
 * Thanks for the Awesome Plugin.
