Sections on main forums page jump around

It seems that when I click on the link to the main forums page, things always move around on me.

For example, on this screenshot, Broadband Tech is on the far left and OS and Software is on the far right:



And now, on this screenshot, OS and Software is in the middle and Broadband Tech is on the far right:



Why does that happen? Is there a way to make it so everything is always in the same place?

The forum groups listed on the page are actually [almost always**] in the same order (in the HTML); the ordering on the page is left to right, top to bottom. The size of each group element, however, can change (depending on which ones are "open"--displaying the forums/threads), so the positions can vary. The browser arranges each, relative to the others, as it sees fit based on the size of the window and the size of the elements it's arranging. So, the actual layout is controlled by your browser.

(**Selecting a specific group to open moves it to the top left, followed by the remaining groups.)

It's been a mess since that page was all redesigned for the ... "better"... and it will more than likely stay that way. Personally, I think it blows. The old layout that showed ALL forums along with which ones were your favorite; indicated by a green jewel... was the most attractive design layout by far.

Remember that cool hidden "Graffiti Wall" here on BBR? After the name change I became the "owner", so to speak as it became: Dustyn's Wall »[Serious] RIP
