Front Page Messed Up in Chrome

Post by Karatorian »

Something about the formatting of the Wiki's front page causes it to render severely messed up in Google Chrome (Chromium 13.0.782.107 on Gentoo).

There is a similar issue in Firefox (3.6.17), but it's not as bad. I get the feeling the box sizes are hard coded in absolute values somewhere, but I haven't dug into the CSS to check for sure.

I was initially going to mention this on the discussion page, but I don't have edit permissions.

It is also a bit screwed in latest FireFox. Was fine in 3.6x.

The boxes were using fixed sizes measured in px, while you had your computer's fonts set larger than expected. I changed them to fixed sizes measured in em to adapt better to font size.
