    I can read it fine in chrome and IE 11. What is your screen resolution at?
    Yes, I'm that Askray@Batbayer in game. Yes, I still play. No, I don't care.

    Resolution is 1440 x 900.

    I can't read it on any browser, and I have tried another computer. I would attach a screen shot, but that doesn't seem to be an option.

    Thanks for answering!

    The pop up contains:

    PW Game (Varies from Swordsman/NeverWinter and so forth) graphics
    Most Recent
    Links to STO events Dilithium Weekend/STOked Radio/G & T Show Interview.... and so forth
    Follow/Subscribe
    Facebook/Twitter/YouTube
    Subscribe.

    This pop up covers the right third of the text of the main article.

    I knocked my resolution down to 1440x900 and down to 1280x720 (since I run at a bit higher than that) and it scaled properly without any popups. I also disabled my popup blocker and got nothing.

    The popup you're talking about is the right sidebar and it shouldn't be blocking anything it's supposed to auto scale to the right size.

    I know attaching screenshots is disabled (which in these cases really suck lol) but if you could upload it to say http://imgur.com and just throw me a link I'm kinda curious as to why it'd be doing this.

    Also, does it do it on all the news articles or just this one?

    I've tried to replicate this but couldn't. Although I did notice the LCARS navigation bars on this article don't scale well at low resolutions. If you can provide a screenshot on imgur or some other image hosting site that would be great ;-)

    I just figured out that the article is readable at 1920 x 1080, but only if the browser is at full screen, which it usually isn't. At 1440 x 900 at full screen, the text is occulted.

    The side bard does NOT auto scale in my experience.

    That's really really odd because I decided to plop it into IE 11 and put it into a little window and it still shows it fine without the side bar o_O

    Page one was never a problem. It's on page two where there is text that gets covered up.

    Yah I can confirm this. I ran it in IE 11, not full screened (just a small window) and when you hit page 2 it starts covering up text.
