Front page rendering oddly....
All the content on the front page is squished to the right side of the page under the sidebar. The menus at the top of the poage render okay.
I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.13) Gecko/20100914 Firefox/3.5.13 on the Professional White Background. The sidebar has a blue frame around it, which doesn't show up normally on the white background.

Same on Mac Firefox for me. On Mac Safari I'm getting a similar bug except everything is squished to the left.

command-shift-4, then click the browser window and hit return to take a perfect screenshot of the browser window.

Brina, if you scroll down you'll likely see the content after the sidebar.

Shift+Command+3.
Interestingly, the same thing is happening for me (as in, I was coming here to ask about it) but on the LEFT side of the screen.
Also running OS X 10.6, but using Safari 5.0.2.
On preview..... Thanks.

Wow. Fast fix.
So Mefi wasn't going to go all free verse on us. Pity.

So, what happened?
I made an update to the front page that had some bad HTML in it.

You could at least make up a complex lie involving playful kittens, a secret unsecured access point to the MeFi mainframe and being diverted by a sultry foreign agent, pb.

I think that is what actually happened. This "bad HTML" business is just a coverup, obviously.

Something's bizarre on the mobile site now (viewing on an iPhone). Part of the screen is not rendering and everything is smaller than usual.

I don't see any problems when I load Ask on my iPhone, charmcityblues. Can you take a screenshot of the problem and send it my way? (My email address is in my profile.) If I can see what's happening that might help me figure out what's going on for you.

cmd-shift-4 click return doesn't work for me - the cross hair disappears when I click, and if I click and hold and then hit return, nothing happens.
I realise that this is only tenuously related, but I'd love to be able to do screenshots of just the window, rather than having to drag or do full screen.

command-shift-4 then space and click works for me with Snow Leopard. Or you can do command-shift-control-3 for a screenshot.

CONDITION BLUE
Oh crap! Condition Blue? really? Have you actually read all the protocols for Condition Blue? Because the fine print mandates that we're all supposed to be naked and on skateboards for the duration.
I'm game and all, but whoever wrote this never considered the real and serious implications of road rash.
I'm just sayin'.

I'm on 10.6.4. That list gives me the cmd-shift-4-space answer however, which delivers the behaviour that I was expecting.
