I'm not having problems with reading it. What size screen are you viewing the site on??

Because on a site with thousands of pages, maintained by many people, (new) fangled generators *are* KISS. Very little of debian.org is "static". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website_Meta_Language http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Management_System Try:- http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Adebian.org and see how many pages you're suggesting should be "hand-coded", or whatever non-"fangled" method you suggest. > > /debian.org <http://debian.org> ��� /one ��� /two ��� /three I have no idea what you mean ^^^ > > share /debian.org <http://debian.org> Likewise ^^^ > > Meh.

You should only need to resize a page if the site is badly coded. Either you can email the entire internet suggesting they recode to suit your browsing - or consider the possibility the problems sits at your end of the tubes. > > Here is a screen shot of the problem. > > http://sixfour.freeshell.org/shots/overlap.png If you have to resize the page such that the searchbox moves from the right-hand side to the left - then the problem is not the code on Debian.org - it's your browser/display settings. Debian.org is an example of how sites should be coded (fluid layout) - but there's a limit to how "liquid" a layout can be and still have useful content. > > something about height in one of these maybe ? > > #header #navbar #upperheader debian_en.css doesn't appear to set any "heights" for those elements.
