I am facing two major problems here, the text is overlapping the page(for example http://www.pslegion.com/?q=node/104)
and when italicize all the text below on the frontpage gets the italic format, i have already asked for this(on http://drupal.org/node/206648) someone suggested for me the the html corrector module but it didn't work
now i want to solve the problems one by one, first thing the text overlapping dilemma then the italicizing problem

Thats going to happen when you create no spaces in words. there is no word that is anywhere near that long in any language. Thus using it as a test seems ludacris.
Also of note, the front page is a teaser list of all nodes promoted there.
if you aren't careful with your teaser breaks you wind up breaking your HTML. This will take some playing around with to fully understand.
The essence is this:
when your node is promoted to the front page your teaser break is being placed before the closing
</i>. To create the teaser drupal counts characters and bases the placement of break tags on the limit you set in administer -> post settings -> Length of trimmed posts:Thus if you set the trimmed post for 200 and your
</i>comes in a 205, then your breaking your own HTML._____________________________________________________________________

wooow that was driving me crazy
ok we can get something useful out of this, how can i stop someone(supposedly he has deep knowledge of drupal of making this),,
so the question is how can i determine the max length of a word to prevent someone from doing this in the future??

In my 37 years of living, I've learned you can't stop people from doing things they shouldn't do.
Ultimatley, the user shoudn't be leaving posts like they have on your test site, with one giant string of characters unbroken by a space or carriage return. Why would anyone do that any way?
There is a maxlength.module in the downloads area , but offhand don't know that it will solve what you seek.
re read my above post, as I was in midst of editing when you chimed back in.

well
one thing is down, one more to go,
the html corrector module should do the trick but apparently it's not, so i guess if someone did this i have to correct it manually, or is there any trick that i should to get things done?
and does italicizing the text using a WYSIWYG editor have the same effect or does it prevent those kind of things from happening?
anyway, i will make some tries and if i come up with something i'll post it here

I've never used the HTML corrector module and don't have time to play with it at moment to see if it will solve your problem. Offhand, I don't believe it will. HTML corrector corrects tags inside the node, I don't believe this will have any effect on teasers and where breaks happen.
whether its manually added HTML or a rich text editor (not WYSIWYG) it wouldn't matter, the break is still dependant on your settings in administer -> post settings. HTML is included in the character count.
I've never built a site where just anyone can post to the front page. Only nodes that I or the owner of the site (if it's not me) promotes nodes to the front page. This creates incentive for well formed posts. IMHO.

well you're right
you're right to an extent, but we're a group of six poeple, i promised to build the site, they promised to post on it and ultimately these people have finished their studies and they are working and they have an access to the internet from their offices, but i am the poor one, i am still a student, i went through 8 cms before finding out about drupal, i like it because it is straight forward(no combos of multitude of things to accomplish a bit, it is built with extendibility in mind) and it offers more flexibility to edit(though i have to learn php now, i have a good ken in java and html) and simply it can get things done, so finally i can't keep monitoring the site, editing posts, and promoting to the frontpage, if that was the case, i would have shaved a lot of pain.... but i am happier this way, i am pushed to learn about new stuff and adapt...
ps: other users can post in their blogs and i can promote their posts, but the problem lies with those five poeple, we had some of an agreement(which is in my benefit, i don't loose much time this way)
so i guess you can add this one too to the long list(woow it has been less than a week) thanks
I can't very well tell my
I can't very well tell my client to learn html before promoting stuff to the front page, can I? So even if it's not everybody who can promote to front page, I still have an editor team of six or seven people on client side, half of them knowing zip html.
HTML-corrector did stop the bleeding for me, as far as I know it's included in Drupal 6 by default.
