Title: Web Page Formatting
Post by: drralph on January 25, 2019, 09:02:29 pm
I have noticed that text in LuLa articles has odd formatting regarding margins.  At the size I normally keep my browser window, the text hugs the left edge of the window, with no margin.  If I make the window smaller, left margins of variable size appear. 

Having a border makes the text much easier to read, and is more visually appealing.  Most websites seem to have articles more or less centered in the window, regardless of window size.  Just a suggestion for the webmaster.

Hi Drralph,

Not sure if what you are seeing has just appeared within the last few days, but we are in the process of a little home page re-design which may account for the temp margin look.

Will note your comment to the web team as they move forward.

Best,

Josh

Hi Josh,

Yes, I found the left-hugging effect too.

Nowadays, most publications are left leaning.

I hit Ctrl - in the google chrome browser to reduce the view to 90%. That restored the left margin and framed the text for more comfortable reading.

I do not see what the problem is. Narrow margins? Maybe. But they are the same on both sides.

Slobodan, your view seems rather balanced. Whereas the view of the previous poster is hugging the left edge.

Depends on your monitor/window size.  The text has no left justification but it's formatted to a max width.  If the window is smaller than that width (+ ads) it is anchored to the left side of the window.  If the window is wider it looks like it has a left justify.

Top is 4k screen, middle is about 1/2 that, bottom is less to show the effect.  All are screen shots of the full window width, so if you have a monitor with < 4k you'll likely see something like the middle or bottom

That's a sentiment you don't often read :-)

It's the Slavic temperament; those of us with Italian blood from those northeastern regions tend not to suffer fools gladly, even if to our own cost. History and my grandmother taught me that. It's a trait that's in eternal conflict with running a business: try as you might, you soon reach breaking point and you hear those inner screams as babies and bath waters gurgle rapidly down the tubes. But hey, it feels divine for about thirty minutes! Worth it? Well, that's something entirely else.

Perhaps it also explains why the Mafia is a southern creation.
