The page format shows problems in two ways:

1. When I am logged in, the page "overspill" problem only applies to wikipost itself. All the rest of the thread/posts are "normal" for my viewing pleasure (meaning no scroll required).

2. However, if I am browsing FT without log-in, both the wikipost and all the posts in thread are "spillover" that I have to scroll (to the right) to read any of them.

Here's one example thread of the problems I've been seeing:

The funny thing is not every thread with wikiposts that I have visited is problematic. For instance, this thread is absolutely 100% normal, one more rebuttal to why it isn't any user's and/or browser issue. I can see both normal and "spillover" wikipost threads on my one and only Thinkpad. For me, the only reasonable and logic explanation is something's wrong with the source, aka FT.

Your tech team can play detectives to find out why the problem behavior isn't consistent across all threads with wikiposts on FT. I guess it will be another unsolved mystery for IB, just like the phantom page phenomenon not happening to every thread that had posts removed.
