Website forum style

Today (5th June) the website forum has gone over to a 'centered' text layout. This makes reading a challenge - in fact very difficult.  :x Can it be returned asap to the left justified text format for paragraphs?

Malcolm,

Good question. The young people are way faster on this computer stuff than us silly, old, stupid, grey hairs.
IMO

My question Slim, Why did it change?

I am not seeing any difference - still left justified in Milwaukee.

I didn't do anything -- and there's no change on either of my computers (one Apple, one Wintel).  I guess I'd better ask Bob if he did something without telling me.  I emailed with him about other stuff last night -- he didn't tell me anything was being changed. :? :?

Bob should try adding a left-justified blank line immediately after the new centered caveat. 

The only thing that is not well on my display is:

Landracing Forum Home > Misc Forums > Website Suggestions>

immediately below the new text, centered instead of left-justified.

Messages are center justified in my Internet Explorer v9, but left justified in Safari on my iPad.

Bob's at work right now but reports that everything looks normal on whatever device he's using right now.  I'll guess that he'll check into this when he gets off the clock later.  Give us/him as many details as you can about the browser you're using of the device or whether you had beef or vegetables for lunch or whatever.  Maybe the details will help him figure out what's going on. :?

Web Elf here.... well, let me know how this works.  I put up the "disclaimer" this morning, just to make it clear that opinions on the forum are those of the poster, not Jon (unless he does his own post, in which case he's a poster, not the site owner...)  

Anyway, I left out a ">", yeah, one little ">" and evidently that spilled over into the forum posts.  With some browsers being more susceptible to being sent off kilter than others.  

So let us know if that fixes it, and thanks for the feedback.  If the fix didn't work, let me know what you had for lunch....

All is back to a readable layout on my lap top.
