Viewing massive amount of text at the same time?
In most subtitles, I've been noticing that some sentences longer than 10-15 words are on the same line and that a long line of words isn't broken into two.
Example from Subtitles:onetwo/en:
<strongbad>(Singing) I'm a woman on the prowl and I speak up for myself! The city is at night and I'm dancin'! Dancin'!<strongbad>
That's way too long, you know. It oughta look like this:
<strongbad>(Singing) I'm a woman on the prowl and I speak up for myself!<strongbad>
<strongbad>(Singing) The city is at night and I'm dancin'! Dancin'!<strongbad>

- Well, that line appears as one unbroken line on my browser, but your point is valid. Then again, making the subtitles too short can make it harder for people to read them. One could add a <br /> in the middle of the subtiutle, forcing a line break in the middle where it's less obtrusive. - Qermaq - (T/C)

Not sure if this is the right place to be asking this, but... The subtitles don't load for me. Every time I watch a toon, I get a "Loading subtitles" message that doesn't go away. Can anyone help?
