Hello, after Chrome and Edge update has anyone else noticed that the column spacing is off? They stretch off my screen and I now have a scroll bar at the bottom of the forum.

Not here, but I noticed t on a different discussion board.
However, that board has always been screwed up (it's tech 'team' recommends dumping cache every 7-10 days to make sure it works right) so I didn't equate it's problems to any updates..

Edit!
I don't see the problem here in OT Jake, but if I switch over to the politics/religion section, (or any other PFF section) I definitely have text running off t the right side of the page. Top header spacing is wrong too.
Strange...

Back to normal today.

That same problem showed up this morning for some unknown reason. I'm not techy enough to know how to get it back to normal but, it sure makes reading this forum a challenge.

If it happens again, scroll down the page and see if there's anything that's taking up more space than usual. I've seen this happen a few times when Google adds an ad at places where it shouldn't, causing the layout to get messed up.

OK, I looked. If there's something as you describe as taking up more space than usual, I'm just not seeing it. Although admittedly, it could be right in front of me and I'm simply not seeing it. As another thread I started says, getting old SUCKS. Thanks for the posting, I'm simply not techy enough to know what I'm doing or looking for.

For what it's worth, It's still a mess.

Yep, and it's only on the page for selecting topics, not on pages for posts or responses. Pretty frustrating..............

I just checked on the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Edge. None are giving me problems. So I'm not sure what might be causing it at your end.

Can you make a screenshot of the entire browser?

At the moment, when l am on the main forum page, it is the correct width, but when l go into tech or GF, it is too wide so cannot see who was latest poster...

(ain't com-pukers grand...?)

Cliff, was just about to take that screen shot (had to research how to do that) and went to get that screen shot and now it seems to be working correctly. No idea on how or why that happened but, I sincerely appreciate your attempt to assist.

I guess cussing it out may have gotten it's attention.

Actually, I did make some changes. I wasn't seeing the problems you were seeing, but I did find some potential problems. So I fixed those and apparently, that fixed the issue. 😁

I have not noticed the issue again, thank you Cliff and everyone that posted.

I greatly appreciate your effort whether it was the fix or not. Although, I'm still not sure my cussing didn't make a difference................

I'm pretty sure the changes were what caused the page to display correctly again.

I found a few tiny errors in the HTML code. Normally, this should result in the same display errors on every browser - unless the page is in "Quirks Mode" which some of the page on PFF are, including the topic list page. Quirks Mode is when you don't specifically tell the browser which HTML standard you are using. It's then up to the browser to "guess". It's also up to the browser how to handle errors in HTML. So those errors might not show up on my end, while they do on your end. So to solve this problem, I did two things. First of all, correct those errors of course. And second, specify which HTML standard I'm using. So from now on, everybody should see the page the exact same way.

So, what you're saying is, my cussing about it didn't help? Hmmm, who would have thought it.......................
