I’m trying to read the blog post about all the wonderful exciting stuff in RetroArch 1.0 but the horrible web design is preventing me. It’s been set to force some absolute width relative to the text, so I can’t zoom in to make the text big so I can actually see it without scrolling left and right as I read each line because the text won’t wrap. That is really inconvenient for anyone with poor vision! Also, that god-awful “Fork me on Github” banner in the corner that won’t go away ends up taking up more of the screen if you try to zoom in. Please someone fix the web site so that it’s not so terrible and can be read. Meanwhile I’m going to see if I can just turn all CSS off and see if that helps.
It would be good if you mentioned in what kind of device that happes. It looks fine on the desktop, on my Nexus 7 and on my Xperia Z

Of course, it’s aggrivated even more on Android devices.
I can turn off CSS but still, it’s annoying
Weird. Works fine here.
Zoom to 250% with Firefox or IE (might need more zoom on higher resolution) on http://www.libretro.com/index.php/category/blog/ and notice how there’s a need to scroll horizontally to be able to read. Now compare to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/
Well… it’s an extreme case I guess. I can zoom a lot without issue but I see what you mean now. Site was fixed in like… two days and we’ll be looking for a better design at the future but for now… zoom a bit less I guess
I see the flaw if I zoom to more than double the default zoom. I also happen to have good vision, though. Although the flaw could (and probably should) be fixed on the site, my recommendation for a workaround is to see an optometrist and get your vision checked, to ultimately obtain some vision-enhancing item tailored to your needs. You will be glad when you don’t have to zoom to more than double the default zoom to read standard-sized text on a web site.
The way that Microsoft blog handles zooming is definitely superior. If you provide a CSS fix (in code), it can probably be implemented. Feel free to contribute it.
Pfft, condescending. Don’t you think I’ve checked into that and would know more about my situation than you would? This is a problem in general for anyone with poor vision and it got me a little frustrated that day. might’ve overreacted with the ALLCAPS though 
One doesn’t want to keep text at the absolute minimum size one can read. One wants to keep text at the easiest reading size to prevent eyestrain.
I was not being condescending. It seems like you have missed the rest of my post.
