AI Thread Summary
The front page layout is being affected by an overly long title of one of the Free Industry Resources, causing content to shift to the left. Users have suggested hiding the "stay connected" panel to alleviate the issue. Some members report not seeing the problematic resources at all, while others confirm they are still visible. There are discussions about potential browser compatibility issues, with users on different systems experiencing varying results.

I'm seeing the front page all squeezed to one side. It appears that the title of one of the Free Industry Resources is so long that it squeezes everything else to the left (see attached image). Can I do anything? If not, can you do anything?

You can hide the stay connected screen by pressing the little triangle of squares at the top right of the stay connected panel. That might help. It appears that one of the magazine titles is broken. :confused:

It's probably in some language that doesn't use Roman letters. Martian, perhaps.
 
Argh, how are we supposed to keep them under wraps if they keep advertising? :frown:
 
Strange; I'm not getting anything like that. Are you perhaps on a Windows-burner? I'm running Safari through Tiger on a MacBook, and everything is fine. :confused:
 
Has someone removed them (perhaps as a temporary fix to the problem)? I don't even see those resources on my front page, and I know they used to be there. So, I can neither confirm nor deny whether that problem would happen to me if I saw those resources.
 
Here's mine. Current time 10:27 p.m. Mountain time. This one, obviously, is in Firefox on a PC, and Explorer has the same appearance.

That's what I get as well, Georgina. In general, that is, going by size. My right-hand column includes all members who are on-line, Sci-Am updates, etc.. I can't, even with my reading glasses, see what yours shows.
 
I get all of that stuff on the right-hand side too, Danger. I just took a screen shot of it scrolled down the spot that mucked up Vanadium's screen. And I squished it. :smile:

That's odd. I still don't see any of those "industry resources." None, not even a place for them. I know I used to see them. I didn't really care that they were there, since they were out of the way and down on the bottom. I don't remember turning anything off, and don't see anything collapsed near that part of the page. Maybe they figured out I'm in the wrong industry for them to be of any use to me (don't worry, I don't need them back either, since none were relevant for me, but it seems odd everyone else still sees them and I don't). I'm running a Mac OS 10.5.8, with Firefox 3.5.2. Are they something adblock would block? I do have that on, but I don't think that affected those before.

Is this still being experienced?

I'm still experiencing not seeing any of those resources. Though, you probably meant the squeeze part.
