*I'm unfamiliar with any "aliens and enemies of series x pages" that put a list into columns. The template pages don't generally use columns, and those are the only "aliens and enemies of series x pages" of which I'm aware. Could you provide me with links to the pages that are giving you grief? (I will say, however, that if you're talking about the pages in the category [[:category:Aliens Navigation templates]] — don't worry, they're all being ''completely'' recoded within the next few days. | *I'm unfamiliar with any "aliens and enemies of series x pages" that put a list into columns.

Final thought for now: You ''are'' going to find that the wiki looks slightly different in Firefox. It looks different in ''every'' browser. But the areas that you see differently are particularly important to note and screenshoot. Such observations are ''invaluable'' (to me, anyway) as they help identify which coding practices are cross-platform compatible, and which are not. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''12:51:45 Sat '''26 Mar 2011 </span> | Final thought for now: You ''are'' going to find that the wiki looks slightly different in Firefox.

::What version of Firefox are you using? That looks most unusual. (If you're using a bleeding-edge Beta version, all bets are off as to precise rendering.) Also, does '''every''' infobox look like this to you, or is it only {{tl|infobox Individual}}? In my Firefox, I don't experience this problem on the Amy Pond page (or any page). I do note, however, there was a coding problem on the Amy Pond page, in that the editor who made the infobox with that ridiculous unorder list structure failed to close the list properly. I've closed it properly now. Does that affect your view of this page positively? | |||
::As for the table on the series 6 page, you are again getting different results to me. To determine whether this is a problem with {{tl|prettytable}}, might I suggest that you go to that template, see what links to it, and go to other pages that use it? That way, we can immediately determine whether it is the template itself, or something funky on the plague-ridden series 6 page. | |||
::All I can tell you at this point in the investigation is that it's clearly something particular to your setup. If this was more widespread, I'd have had everyone and their mother on my talk page by now. Tangerineduel in particular would've noticed missing gridlines. Saying that it's a problem unique to you, though, is not the same as saying it's not worth looking at. We could well learn something valuable about your case that will strengthen overall coding. Or at the very least help us to judge the utility of a particular version of Firefox. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''17:04:02 Sat '''26 Mar 2011 </span> | |||
