The front page of gamespy.com nearly always renders wrong for me in Mozilla.
This has occurred with several different versions of Mozilla, and I'm pretty
sure it's Gamespy's problem.

The "Content" cell of the table is pushed out far to the right, leaving a blank
grey cell where the content should be. It looks kinda like they have got their
colspan addups wrong or something similar.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.gamespy.com using a recent version of Mozilla

Actual Results:  
Content of page is pushed to the far right of the window

Expected Results:  
Content should be in the center of the window

WFM in 2002111108 PC/Win98.
Bug can be reopened if issue can be reproduced in a current Mozilla build.

I dont get this on the main page now (I may have done in the past) but I do get
this problem when i click on any game review page at www.gamespy.com

One current example is the review of Vice City for the PC.
I took a quick peek at the source code for this page and noticed a comment that
said <!-- MOZILLA FIX --> followed by the line: <div style="width:120px;">
Their fix obviously isnt working though.

Sometimes going back to the main page from a review causes some cells to get
shifted to the right too.

btw, Im using Mozilla 1.4b

Yeah, I should have mentioned in the orginal bug report it happens for most
gamespy.com pages. Hasn't happened on the front page so much for me recently
(though it does occasionally, I think it may have something to do with what ads
they are running).

The review pages definately don't lay out right in MozillaFirebird 0.6.

I believe this bug is related to (if not a dupe of) bug 217369.
Either way, it hasn't occurred for me recently. (Win2k/Firefox0.8)

[Warner Young]

I agree.  It hasn't happened since the Gamespot bug was fixed.
