Personal Text over running the user profile area ... sometimes.

This has happened several times the past week. This time it is in the thread linked below ..

http://wedge.org/pub/import/8350/importer-tool/

See attached images for examples.

The browser is FF 28 and skin is Wilde.  With 14 posts displayed on first entering the thread there are no issues. When clicking for page 2 and then scrolling from post 14 to post 15 the personal text begins to over run its area as seen in the first image. Continue on past and then I get what is shown in the second image.  A screen refresh often clears the issue up.

There are two known issues which are born from the Follow Me feature (avatar getting stuck at the top of the page next to the current post being read), and they are:

- Very, very long posts. Due to Chrome (and others??) sometimes getting a wrong width value for the .poster div, resulting in a wrong 'max-width' for the avatar area... If it's set to 0 or a very small width, of course the poster box will extend to thousands of pixels in height. I thought I'd fixed that by ensuring to re-calculate the width if it's less than 12px, but the bug happened to me again the other day. I didn't think of checking the poster area width, though, it would have helped me determine what caused it. Anyway, the bug only happens if using flexbox on posts, and since I've made my peace (for a long time!) with table tags, I'm actually considering switching posts back to table tags, and just make them responsive on small widths.

- Blurbs getting out of bounds. This is the exact opposite of the above bug, where basically the poster area says it's okay to extend beyond its limits. As far as I know, this only happend on Firefox, and because I don't use Firefox a lot (if at all, these days...), I'm only hoping that going back to table tags will also help, eh...

What do you think, guys...? Can you live with table tags? Just load the Wedge.org homepage, and resize your window. As you can see, the board list will be completely redesigned, and will look like a regular assortement of divs. Yes, I can do that for posts too...
