Did you know you can display two templates side by side?

I use the veteran recognition template all of the time.  I also use the templates for died in military service or killed in action.

If entered normally they display one above the other and take a lot of space.  By using a table I was able to display them side by side.

The profile for Marshall Arland Langley who died in WWII is an example.  The profile is open so you can copy the table and use other templates.  I have not tested other templates.

Just a note on my display the Military Veteran template covers some of the text on the right side of the screen making both the template and the text on the screen hard to read.

This will happen any time the browser window is less than 1448 pixels.  Of course, if your screen width is less than that, even having the browser full screen will still be too small to display the page without having the overlap.  This will always happen on tablets and phones..
I figured it was my computer, but since we do not know what others will be viewing the profile with it is my belief that we should try and keep the bells and whistles to a minimum so that others do not have a problem viewing them.  I often take my tablet to show others what WikiTree is and viewing that profile would make the site seem poorly designed, which it is not, but you can't undo a first impression.

Just my thoughts.
