Yes, I agree with you on the solution, but if I am not the webmaster to
the site, I cannot change it.
Needless to say, you are right about if someone zooms too much. I will
give the designer of that site high marks for design if it applies your
fix. I was pleasantly surprised that the site properly adjusts itself
if I resize my browser. Something a lot of modern sites do not do.
My comment of poor design is withdrawn. It is actually one of the
better sites on the web that just needs some minor adjustments that you
so kindly pointed out.
I really should learn to keep my big mouth shut sometimes. Something
that I am sure several others on this list would agree with, but then
how could I be the list ethicist? ;)
