::::::I don't see the random picture problem, but... Greenpickle, do you have a particularly low resolution?  Because one column is fixed, the other moves to fit the remaining space.  So the evenness of the columns depends on the screen resolution (I would love to find a way to fix this).  I think your resolution may be one of the extremes, and not a common one - so it may be best to put some more in the left column - for most people this will be the widest. -- [[User:Sannse|sannse]]<staff /> ([[User talk:sannse|talk]]) 17:46, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

::::::Windows XP with Firefox. Interestingly, the box where the random picture is on FF just has the text "Second ad goes here" on Internet Explorer, and the random picture is at the bottom of the page. In fact, it looks like all the footers have been bumped over so they intersect with the right column. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

:::::Picture placement for me is fine in both FF and IE on WinXP, in FF on Linux, and in Wii's Opera browser.  My resolution's 1024x768, which I've always assumed is about average.  At that resolution, the left column is slightly shorter than the right (exerpts are random by the way, so when they're really short, the left column ends up proportionally shorter).
 
:::::Lower resolutions can be simulated by resizing the browser window, and it seems that at 800x600 (which is always what the Wii's browser is at, I think), the left column gets smaller than the featured article's image, so that box is overlapped by the right column.  Not good.  I can simulate something in the 1280-width range by making the content area overlap the adverts, and then I see what you mean about the right column being too long. Does the edit I made make it fit better for you?{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
