Site Article Overlap Error

Gamescook · 11-08-2009, 10:24 AM

I am suddenly having a problem viewing Destructoid properly. The Articles on the main page are not formatting properly and are bleeding over into other stories and sections. I have tried various formatting options before posting here, so I would appreciate any help anyone can offer.

I'm having the same problem, happening on my home computer with IE8 and at work on IE 7 both vista 64. Also, sometimes after browsing to destructoid and it doesn't happen on any other webiste, I get redirected to chinaontv.com or something like that...

Holy smallest fucking thumbnail in history batman. I can kind of seeing what's going on there, but a bigger image would be fantastic. OP, any browser, OS, etc. details?

I have Windows 7 Home Premium with Internet Explorer 8, I presume. I tried to get a bigger image, but the much bigger picture that I have keeps getting downscaled to that up there. I am "fresh meat" so I do not know how to get larger images posted. (UPDATE: I hope this image is a hair bigger.)

I think I can see it. The article is being overlapped by the comments thing?

Well, it was just fine yesterday with the exact same browser, so I am not quite sure what could have gone wrong. Everything is set up as normal with "Western European (Windows)" and such.

Good to know I am not overreacting. So, what can we do about this issue? It is really hampering my enjoyment of the site having to copy and paste the articles into Wordpad in order to read them.

I'm having this same issue, I hope you guys can fix it soon. Firefox runs slow on my puter for some reason so i'm stuck with IE8.

MUST read Destructoid....can't...RAAAR!

Stormer77 · 11-08-2009, 12:21 PM

I am also having the same problem. GrgRGRGRG.

Anonymouse · 11-08-2009, 12:43 PM

Yep, this happening to me as well.

de BLOO · 11-08-2009, 12:59 PM

I blame that new IGN thing on the top of the front page.

Rogue Trooper · 11-08-2009, 01:18 PM

I'm using IE7 and having the same problem.

psycho soldier · 11-08-2009, 03:53 PM

I have the same problem and it was fine two days ago.

Protip:Firefox. It will make your life a lot easier.

Technophile · 11-08-2009, 04:14 PM

I've gone ahead and forwarded this on.

Yeah...too bad FF runs slow as hell on my computer for some reason, so that tip isn't quite as pro as you think it is.

Poopface Morty · 11-08-2009, 07:09 PM

Yeah, as much as those of us who do the website thing would love it if everyone ditched Internet Explorer altogether, ya still got to cater to as many browsers as possible.

BxB402 · 11-09-2009, 12:16 AM

Excellent. It's been fixed...at least for me. Thanks for the speedy fixin's.
