Darn it! It seems Chris shrunk the page width. Or is that only on my system? The chud overfloweth!

Are you on fixed layout (or otherwise a narrow screen)? That will break it.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

No. I'm on Normal - it doesn't even have a 'Fixed' option. Using Vivaldi, but FF and Chrome also give the narrower view that breaks it. Even on fullscreen. It seems like Chris narrowed the collumn.

I believe (but not 100% sure) that the RH column width was increased when the "Straw poll" was added to the Lounge page. But: With Edge, when you pull the window wider, when you increase the window width beyond a certain limit (which isn't very wide), the center area stops growing. Rather you have white margins outside both LH and RH columns. On Firefox, the center area width continues to grow, with no outer white area, and there is no line overflow. If you use an ad blocker, pages other than The Lounge, such as Insider News, have a a wide RH column with no contents. With no ad blocker, there will be ads, but with Firefox, they fill the column with no wasted outer white border. With Edge, space is wasted both for ads and this outer whitespace. I recognize the need for ads, to finance the site. But the outer whitespace, especially when it appears with one browser and not the other one, I consider to be a CSS bug that should be fixed.

TL;DR; Google tried with their Go! If it is worthwhile, I'll encounter it and that only happens if it is "better" (more intuitive, logical). It's prolly not; the existing languages had a somewhat larger investment backing them.

Layout width is a separate setting controlled at the bottom of the page. Values are fixed and fluid. Once a year or so fluid setting gets reverted to fixed by the internet gremlins.

Even though it's satire, he makes some good points. :laugh:
