Indeed it's back to three columns now. My thanks to you - and it's a handy reminder to repeat my thanks to the whole NS team for your continued sterling work. Dave Can't remember your password?

NetSurf #2935, jsoff or json, running on a RiscPC/RO 6.20, displays 3+1 columns, which agrees with the layout on Firefox 39, running on Win7. However, in NS the headline image is missing, and an inoperative vertical scroll bar (absent in FF) is drawn at the right of the page. Tony

Go to http://www.theregister.co.uk and you'll see. They changed the way they did the layout, exposing a layout issue in NetSurf. NetSurf CI builds from 2934 contain a fix. -- Michael Drake http://www.netsurf-browser.org/

Here, using a smart phone, running Android 2.3.6 , a Google search for 'the register' leads to the mobile site http://m.theregister.co.uk . which is a single column layout. On the same device, http://www.theregister.co.uk displays a _four_ column layout, the same as that on a Win7 machine, running Firefox. On a RiscPC, NS #2817 jsoff also displays http://m.theregister.co.uk as a single column. On a RiscPC, NS #2817 jsoff displays http://www.theregister.co.uk as _three_ columns (not four, as FF). Tony

Nor is it on my mobile phone (Android). Still the same old three columns, and it does appear to be the desktop site rather than a special mobile version. Dave Can't remember your password?

El Reg formats differently these days - why?
NS used to render The Register in three columns, like other browsers. Recently it renders with each line of three headings broken over two lines, with the additional oddity that some single items appear left justified and some appear centred. Go to http://www.theregister.co.uk and you'll see. I thought it was caused by a change to NS, but I just went back to a version from June (which, I'm sure, is before it started happening), and it's just the same. So I have to assume that El Reg have changed their layout in some way. The HTML is beyond my comprehension. Can anyone else explain what's going on?
