Viewing ECHI or not is an option in the settings which only affects what you see, not what others see. Hence why logging in with a different account let me read that thread without the ridiculous scrolling -- it had nothing to do with the community's or the journal's ECHI settings, and everything to do with my account's settings.

Styling the ECHI on your communities and journals through CSS should be doable, I think, in the event of your visitors having ECHI turned on? But I'm not sure that anyone actually does style theirs, or that even if they did, it would have any effect whatsoever on its un-wrappable-ness due to lack of being broken up by spaces (or some other method, if there is one. Pretty sure spaces are by far the simplest and lowest-bandwidth solution for breaking it up, though.)

If you don't like the ECHI, and it doesn't help you, then I would suggest turning it off in your account's preferences. I'm pretty certain it won't affect what any of your readers see, one way or the other.

(And if I'm wrong on any of these counts, I trust that [staff profile] denise or someone will correct me. :))
