As you can see, some look correct, and some doesn't.
Since I can't edit the site, I can't fix it either. It's not just on GameCube, this happens on most pages.
I use Google Chrome.

Yeah, known issue with Google Chrome. Has been reported before.
What could be helpful: Discovering what in CSS causes that (beware: It is fickle and "fix" can easily turn out wrong.)

Been looking at Element inspector (or whatever it's called in english) and so far I've found this:
The correct one is 24px while the incorrect is only 3px.
Why this is so, I don't know. There is absolutely no difference in code for the two tables that I can find, except that the one that's working has a lightening bolt (Notable Improvement) and the non-working ones doesn't. However, further down, there are working ones without a second image, so...
My investigation continues...
Yeah.
I'm looking through the css now, and it's unbelievable how messy it is. Everything on one single line. I hate that.
Normally I'd use N++ and the plugin Tidy to fix it, but it refuses to do as I say for some reason. It tries to make html code of it, wich it isn't...
EDIT:
Thank god I had a portable Dreamweaver installation! Now I can view it properly :)
Edit 2:
Unfortunately, nothing suspicious to me. Though I can't say for certain since I'm just an amateur, but still.
And if every table is connected to the same css file and id, there shouldn't be any problems.
So it's a problem that shouldn't be a problem. Go figure...
Addition:
Did an Audit with Chrome and got a bunch of suggestions.
Those that had anything to do with the page itself were as follows:
Remove unused CSS rules (349)
349 rules (83%) of CSS not used by the current page.
.q.css: 83% is not used by the current page.
: 93% is not used by the current page.
Seems like the CSS contains a lot of rules that doesn't even apply, among those are the table rules. So somewhere, something is not really right...
Yeah.

Most of the CSS is in non-"optimized" form in /css/main.css

That CSS is for the whole site. Not surprising there is stuff not used for movies. E.g. User Movies and SRC_EMBED has fair amount of styles that aren't used anywhere else.

Why not to make a completely new user experience, using a popular CSS framework, for example, Twitter Bootstrap? Look at this website, or this one (therearetonsofexamples). They are quite simple, but they do not look like they came from the dial-up epoch, like TASvideos :)
Also, big CSS files should not be that much of a problem, with proper HTTP header configuration they affect only the first load. After that, they are cached and always accessed from the browser’s cache. However, I agree that garbage CSS instructions are not good.
Personally if I had to reimplement the whole TASvideos website from scratch on my own, I’d use some MVC-based web framework, allowing to use ORM to manage the data, template engine to ease the construction of the output pages; and Twitter Bootstrap as the front-end. However, as I’m not good at frontent design and development, I’d prefer to take someone’s else templates.

Done that way since I don't know.
Also, Javascript files are aggressively cached the same way. Makes for some fun if Javascript has to be updated (yeah, I know one could just change the filename).

Yeah, the site code is full of crap. Would take a full rewrite to fix. Unfortunately, such thing is huge effort.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
I took a quick look at the issue with the messed up movie pages in Chrome because the lack of a fix was really bugging me, and I think I might have found the issue.
For some reason, the td and th elements for the movie title, the bunch o' links section, and the category section all have:
style="height:1%"
in the tag. If you remove that height style (I did so with Chrome's element inspector), any messed up movies get fixed.
I'm guessing that for some reason, this 1% height overrides the CSS and/or automatic height calculation sometimes, but not always. It isn't really clear why that happens, but I guess something in Chrome changed at some version and that local style sometimes broke it.
So perhaps if you remove the 1% height thing, this will be fixed. I don't really have the time to test whether or not this breaks something in another browser though... I have a feeling it might be there for a reason (old version of IE, maybe?).
<ccfreak2k> There is no 'ctrl' button on DeHackEd's computer. DeHackEd is always in control.

It is definitely not for any modern Firefox. I can't see difference for it on/off even in blink compare (which shows pretty small differences clearly).
Removing the percentages (both height *and* width where appropriate) fixes the page view for me, except for the bottom sharing tab which is borked on both Firefox and Chrome.
To clarify, the problem was that sack_bot accidentally removed the [/video] tag when quoting the post with the embedded video, causing the text that followed to not be read as text and thus appear blank.
By the way, since I'm here, I want to thank whoever fixed the bug that was preventing the TTYD run from showing up in my and Malleoz's (and probably Masterjun's) published movies lists. I was going to ask about a fix for that when I had time, but now I don't have to worry about it.

I actually have a better parser which will fix these kinds of problems, it will be applied once I work out a few remaining issues. Please be patient.

thought it was on my end/would fix if i just refreshed the page, but it's still doing that for me. I know it's the beginning of unix time or something, but why only those forum sections and not the others i wonder?
