Messageboard Headlines Alignment


Website Feedback


Is it just my browser, or do the headlines (top 3 recent posts) for the messageboards on the main page show up with all different alignments? Some are right justified, some are left justified and some are centered. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to it, so I thought I'd ask if it was intentional or just an artifact of the software you guys use.

It's not intentional, nor does it reflect anything we've seen. What browser/OS are you using? And does it happen if you try a different browser?


Mine looks fine.... Weird.


I've noticed a change recently, too, but not with the headline alignment. I'm using the Firefox webbrowser, on ubuntu linux.
I've begun seeing a dark black line down the left edge of each
textbox in the message board area. I suspect it's an issue with
the CSS code used to format the page. It looks fine with Internet Explorer on WinXP. Note that IE is notorious for ignoring the latest
web standards. Firefox is much more compliant. Unfortunately, making
a site look good for one sometimes breaks it for the other.

I thought to myself when I read this, "They gave headlines alignments?"
So, I went looking to see which headlines were Choatic Evil or Lawful Neutral.

Dang, I was disappointed...

I think it should be added, maybe even color coded. :]

It happens on IE6 under WinXP and Firefox 2.x under WinXP, and I tested on three different computers. I can send screenshots if you'd like.


The alignments have been skewed for me ever since I started posting here. I assumed it was just because of the forum software since I had never seen it used before.

I usually browse with IE7 at home and IE6 at work if it's necessary to know.

Yeah, I get this too. The alignments are wonky when I look at the boards from work (IE7) but they look perfectly normal when I browse from home (Firefox 2.0). It's not that big of a deal to me, but it is odd.

Never mind. Gary just showed me the problem on Firefox 2 for the Mac, so it's clearly not just XP. Apparently he was aware of the display problem, but somehow I managed to miss hearing about it.

We'll see what we can do.

paizo.com definitely looks best in Safari—which is now available for Windows, by the way...

Glad I'm not going crazy, then. :)

I use Firefox on Ubuntu myself at work and I ain't getting anything like this. In fact I can't tell the difference between the site when using Firefox on Unubtu and when I'm posting from home using Firefox on Windows XP.

you'd have to rate each one separately the 4E board is defiantly CE but most of the boards are prolly CN..


I always thought the boards were Lawful Snarky.
