Some forum names are being cut off hiding important information #150

For example this bug only applied to Playstation but you can't tell that from the index page:

I'm not sure what the best solution here is. A few thoughts I've brainstormed while posting this are:

  1. made the forum column wider or wrap onto two lines. This only would work well on PCs which have wider screens to begin with though. While the current layout isn't mobile friendly I'm not a fan of changes that would make it worse.

  2. Keep the width the same, but wrap text. This makes the rows a bit taller while collapsed hurting information density. It's already being done though for thread titles so probably isn't too big of a deal.

  3. Show full names on mouse over. Would be an OK fix on PC, but doesn't really have a mobile equivalent.

  4. Change the displayed names ex show "Early Access Bug Reports (PlayStation 5)" as "PS5 EA Bug Rep..." instead of "Early Access Bug R...", optionally combined with showing the full name on hover. The main downside here is that it'd need a manually created mapping to be established and maintained. The others appear to be doable with just css or html tweaks.

I lean towards 2, possibly combined with 3 to handle even longer forum names if some spill into 3 lines untruncated.
