A simpler solution would be for the person who designed it to have tested it on something other than his 195 inch 16k screen.
Until then, zoom out a little.
Well yes, but it's not the simplest fix is it? One person (the designer/coder) makes a change for everybody or everybody needs to change their zoom settings, the former is by far the simpler solution.
I am sure there are other, more important things to complain to the internet about.
Yes, Frontier's web designer should fix it so the page resizes for each person ....
Until then, stop moaning about the damn page and zoom out a little.
For me it was Ctrl + - ... and only the once, because ... you know ... Google remembers what size I set the damn page!
I need coffee, because obviously the internet isn't enough to stress me out
Who's moaning? lol.
The designer only needs to fix it once, that will fix it for everybody. End of.

Dynamic frame sizing has been around how long now....sheesh
Using dynamic sizing and maintaining typographic/layout consistency is usually not trivial, however. Changing zoom level is trivial. So pick your poison: 1 person making a non-trivial change, or many people making trivial changes.
It doesn't matter how non-trivial the task is if someone's being paid to do a job and doesn't do it properly.
No it is, in fact, trivial. Sure somebody is going to have to load assets in photoshop and reduce/increase sizes. That takes what...five minutes. Browser detects current resolution, load appropriate assets.

EDIT: Or if you're real savvy (in 2005), just use vector graphics.

Not if it's dynamic content in a responsive design.

We don't have that information either way, and giving Fdev the benefit of the doubt has done nothing but come back to bite us in the collective ass so far.
Fair enough. Then they probably should avoid pointing people to it until it is ready. Asking users to modify their browser settings (no matter how minor) is not an acceptable solution.
Why?
1. Users are dumb
2. Users are wrong
3. Users be like, zoom what?
Simple for folks like us to just adjust the zoom, but I can't count the number of times I've shown people the zoom function on a browser and they were shocked it could do that...really, no joke.
Christ, it is trivial, it's not like it's even the assets that are causing the issue, it's the layout padding and margins causing the problem, it's not a responsive or dynamic design, it's merely a complete breakdown of the container floats when the width drops below a certain level.
Agree 100% on both of these.
My posts have been a little snarky in this thread and I apologize for that. I guess my over-arching point here is that it may take 3 months to get fixed due to priorities/unable to reproduce/dev got hit by a bus/whatever. So if reading it is important to you, report the bug, then change your zoom level.

Not really looking for an answer here, but is it possible for someone to post something helpful to a lot of people on this forum without an arguement starting ?
Closing the thread.
