The page http://www.chessvariants.com/d.betza/chessvar/index.html had an incorrect link to the style sheet. This page was two directories deep, but the link went back only one directory. This is now fixed.

I was wondering about this, because seeing two ads was a-typical. I still see one ad, though, in the submission form I am now typing in...

The problem with linking can be prevented by avoiding relative path names in intra-site links. Nowadays I always use "/membergraphics/MSinteractive-diagrams/betza.js" for the link to the JavaScript in interactive diagrams, because the "../membergraphics/..." did not work for some subjects deeper in the tree (I think it was Centennial or Omega Chess). And when you view them in isolation you are one level from the root.

BTW, I noted that page sources tend to be very bloated. There is always an enormous amount of JavaScript related to the menus, which furthermore is full of intra-site links that also has the server URL in it. If you ever want to reduce the bandwidth this site consumes (by a factor 10 or so), this would be a good place to start.

It appears that the comments page currently has some content on it that prevents the main section from growing narrower. I don't know if there is a way to test for this in CSS.

What can that be? The screenshots I posted are not that wide, this is why I demagnified them. The page source I posted as normal text, so that is can be wrapped over lines at any space. For me the text width just adapts when I narrow the window, until I try to shrink it below the width of the screenshots. Then a horizontal scroll bar appears.
