Wouldn't it be good, if..?
I apologize if the pictures take up loads of space in some kind of list somewhere...
Wouldn't it be good, if..? :) Is it worth posting an idea for this?

And another one, where I just don't understand why the orange space remains unused (or what it could possibly be reserved for):

So I did read this part of Oliver Kohl's comment
If a user decides to cover his HD screen completely with web site content, then this is up to him/her. For content reading it is definitely better to have more narrow columns, as this is easier for the eye to perceive.
and made the browser window to cover somewhat less than right half of my HD screen, so the stuff looks like this:
Nothing obvious to complain about, actually... But when I try to pull the left border of the browser window literally just another millimeter to the left (with the intention of making it cover little bit more -- about half -- of the screen), suddenly this happens:
That can't possibly be designer's intent, can it?

I saw this discussion only now, (3 years later), but it still seems to work like this, as you describe:
- [win-left] -> Nice reading for half a screen.
- Make browser winder a little bit **wider** -> content gets **narrower**, as a space-wasting empty space appears:
...I probably did notice stuff like this in the past, but I think I don't bother to much, probably already got used to things being strange...

Oh, when I go back to CC-overview (keeping my 'a little wider that half' Browser), it makes at least a little more sense, as now that space is actually used:

I love NYT website. Even LinkedIn while wastes tons of space is not as annoying:

In retrospect, I could have formulated "my problem" without all the silly pictures, because it's right in front of eyes anyway: comments/answers (at first hierarchy level) use the whole width of the "content area", but the Question/Discussion itself - doesn't, because up to 1/3 of "content area" is taken up by vertically aligned, right floating "avatar"+"statistics"+"post-tools" block.
I'm dilettante in this stuff and probably there is reasonable explanation why the layout has to be the way it is.

This is not the comment that resurrected this years-old discussion (psych! :) see above for that one) but what's up with the question mark in the name? German names with umlauts seem fine. Hm...

It's a regular expression. Normally it's "Jnis B", but sometimes just "nis B" for brevity.

I think umlauts are in Latin-1 Supplement while the character in your example is Latin Extended-A.
I noticed these days that Chinese/Japanese/Cyrillic names also appear as question marks.

Hmm, so changing my name to its Cyrillic spelling could be a nice anonymization option then. :)

There are, I believe, two distinct "problems" - one of them -- possibly, as far as I dilettante suspect, -- at people.sap.com, one at answers.sap.com.
Umlauts are fine at People (1), but, when I enter my name containing U+0101 (?) as second character, the display in the input field gets messed up in a weird way: 2nd character is shown without diacritic, and the 3rd - with... (2):
I can "fix" (2) in browser's Developer tools by Inspecting the element and then getting rid of "Benton Sans" font for input text area (3); and one can also see that the underlying field value behind the scenes is just fine (4) - it's just some weird glitch in input field value display:
What's seen on Answers (sap.com) and Blogs (sap.com) should come via the same People (sap.com) API, I suspect and would expect... - and the name is displayed just fine at Blogs :)

Is to so that the posts can be read on a mobile device, I wonder?
