Some people have thought the tables are still to horizontally large but I disagree. This is the data necessary to make the decisions presented which is the whole point of having the tables anyway. The problem with the advertisement bleeding into the table isn't a fault with the size of the table but the css code behind the site and the page not dynamically sizing. Which it should do anyway. On my 21 inch at home it's not a problem. It's only a problem on smaller screens. Which is why a site is supposed to be dynamically sized so that all sizes display well. I shouldn't have to cut down a table to display on a 800x600 resolution. At some point a table of data is a table of data. --[[User:Gumption|Gumption]] 00:16, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

:I agree with you, and this issue should definitely be brought up in the appropriate forum. While the site is still designed to not dynamically resize however, we have to work within its parameters. Excess amounts of whitespace is just as unattractive as ads occluding the content, so we have to change how the information is presented. You should bring up this issue though, either in the [[StrategyWiki:Staff lounge|Staff lounge]], or on [http://forums.abxy.org/viewforum.php?f=20&sid=fb82e52f807eff6de6cd018c629dd590 the forums].

Table size and white space

Some people have thought the tables are still to horizontally large but I disagree. This is the data necessary to make the decisions presented which is the whole point of having the tables anyway. The problem with the advertisement bleeding into the table isn't a fault with the size of the table but the css code behind the site and the page not dynamically sizing. Which it should do anyway. On my 21 inch at home it's not a problem. It's only a problem on smaller screens. Which is why a site is supposed to be dynamically sized so that all sizes display well. I shouldn't have to cut down a table to display on a 800x600 resolution. At some point a table of data is a table of data. --Gumption 00:16, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree with you, and this issue should definitely be brought up in the appropriate forum. While the site is still designed to not dynamically resize however, we have to work within its parameters. Excess amounts of whitespace is just as unattractive as ads occluding the content, so we have to change how the information is presented. You should bring up this issue though, either in the Staff lounge, or on the forums. Thanks, - najzere 00:22, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
