What the hell is going on with those expand-on-hover boxes that you need to move your mouse to see? Who thought that was a good idea?

Agreed. It took me about 30 seconds to work out how to view the content (so long I nearly gave up and closed the page.

The problem I had was that I couldn't scroll. I ended up having to maximize my browser (Opera) to read them as every time I move my mouse to the scroll bar, they'd shrink again (same problem with using the mouse scroll wheel).

I can't image trying to read those boxes on a tablet where I don't even have a cursor to hover.

I tried on my Android. If you click on the boxen they embiggen. It's not much better than having to mouseover.

Why don't they just break and add a new line? These are really annoying.
