Your webpage layout sucks: in a Browser half a window wide (Opera 11.61, 64-bit Win7, 1680x1050 resolution), the text overflows past the right margin. When I scroll it horizontally, the blue block of text ("Paul Stamatiou") and the purple ad overlap the text. This (1st line of text) is where I stopped reading.
I think he meant horizontal scrolling (which is because his browser window is only 800px wide).
position fixed on the left sidebar was actually requested by many folks so they dont have to scroll all the way back up after reading a long article of mind to get to the nav
I'm impolite because I'm annoyed and I'm annoyed because browsers by default automatically adapt text layout to the window size, and you have somehow purposefully broken this mechanism. Victory of design over functionality.
What's more, YOU are now asking ME to inconvenience myself in order to fix YOUR bug. Sorry, no-go.
[Your page is not the only one offender, but you're the first author I have the opportunity to tell this to directly.]
> That is not a browser default. That is fluid vs fixed.
Nitpicking. Fluid is default unless you change it. Fixed layouts belong to fixed media, such as PDFs formatted for a particular paper size. [with them I have no problem, and, incidentally. I have yet to run into a PDF that is not viewable in a window 800 pixels wide.]
> Me not wanting to support people with 800px wide browsers is not a bug.
In the same way that Excel 2003 having 64k row limit is not a "bug", but it's still unusable if you have a larger dataset. (From what I've seen on the net, newer versions support up to 1M rows; but the fundamental problem - arbitrary limitation - is still there.)
I really wonder how you would have replied had I written that I tried to read it on my phone or a tablet.
