Layout issues
The code overlaps the ToC and stretches the page a ton .. maybe spread it across several lines or something? -- Sixorish 08:08, 27 November 2008 (UTC)


 * It shouldn't be stretching the page - what browser is that? Kirkburn (talk) 11:21, 27 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Firefox, but I think the issue is with the skin. I use cologneblue (personal preference, I just got use to it before we had monaco) monaco / cologneblue monaco is in a box (rather than text floating all over the ToC) -- Sixorish 12:48, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

This should probably be added to the article proper, though I'm not sure of the best means of wording to describe the functionality.
