Although the latest layout on this site has both pluses and minuses from my point of view, there are frequent basic problems with lines violating gutter separations of columns and some titles blanking out underlying information. I am sure this will be eventually corrected, but this is just a reminder to urge correction as soon as it is convenient.

Thanks for the feedback. Could you provide an example of a page that needs to be corrected?

Just a compliment on the graphic cleanup. It's a pleasure to read the pages now that text remains properly placed and stays in its proper columns.

sand, Jul 06 2006

Evidently my previous compliment was a bit premature. There has been some cleanup but there are still places where text and other graphic features slop over onto other text to make parts of the posts unreadable. Dates after signatures still violate column separators and overwrite text.

about the page overlap. I just took a screen shot of it and saved as a gif. now how do I get that to someone. is there a particular e-mail addy for it.

looking at the page as a whole I think the "table" is too narrow in percentage of the space available to allow for the width of the columns as they are designated. If you add another few percentage to the width it should spread out a bit and the overlap which occurs in the middle will have roo. or

the part that overlaps is for example "sand, Jun 04 2006 and the 06 are into the next column

can I copy and past that screenshot in here? better wait to find out

I just sent the screenshot via e-mail to barry.nalebuff@yale.edu one of the authors because that was the only contact I could find. that and the other author.They have a picture of this page with the date ovelapping the second column. balls in their court.
