Forum:Page Distortion

Some of the pages on the Genealogy Wiki are displaying erratically. One user described the problem as that the page "appears all squished up". The problem temporarily goes away if you open the page as if to edit it, and then save it. However, after an indeterminate time the problem returns. This only affects certain pages. They tend to be large pages, with heavy use of tables and/or images.

An example is the Community Portal at http://genealogy.wikia.com/wiki/Genealogy:Community_Portal

Another page is http://genealogy.wikia.com/wiki/Family_History_of_the_Matthias_Brimberry_and_Mary_Anderson_Families

At the moment, the Community Portal is displaying correctly, though I don't know how long tht will last. The Brimberry page is displaying poorly. Opening and closing it will restore it temporarily.

Would appreciate any help in correcting the problem---especially the community portal, as it needs to look right consistently. Presume the cause of the problem is the same in all cases. Bill 23:15, 22 June 2007 (UTC)


 * No way! The Zelda Wiki has the same problem, though it looks a bit different. Look at, for example, Link and Ganondorf. They look exactly the same with the Genealogy pages. I thought it was just a template, but now I think it might be the length or something like that. Wierd.--Richard (Talk - Contribs) 01:18, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
