You are allowed to edit the main css you know! That's better than just fixing it for yourself and leaving stuff broken for everyone else. The fixed width is an unwanted side-effect of floating the main page divs. I changed them from a table to divs so that they wouldn't break on smaller resolutions (and mobile). I floated them both left so that when the resolution is smaller, the right div falls below the left one. Unfortunately that only worked when both divs were fixed-width, and I've not had time to sit down and figure out why it didn't work with a min-width or some fixed-width content inside them. Any ideas? [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 18:22, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

:Fair enough, I wasn't sure what your reasons for fixed width were, and just because I don't like something doesn't mean it's broken. And now that you've made it relative again I can see what you mean about the min-width not working. If you make the the window small enough, it actually breaks, and some of the content is moved below the right div.

'''EDIT:''' What I just described can be fixed by using a wrapper div with a fixed width - Tested (in preview) and works, though that ruins the idea of making the right div move below the left one on smaller resolutions.
