- gojomo 18y agoYour attempt to be helpful (thank you!) has backfired, making everything on the page harder to read, at least in FF3, because <PRE> areas here don't wrap or clip properly (you eeediot!). Of course it's not your fault. News.YC should go to a DIV-based, rather than TABLE-based, layout so that CSS works more consistently across browsers/versions.
