I wish that all web developers - including CP developers - would try out all their web pages, including all dialog/popup boxes, with the zoom function (typically operated by ctrl-scrollwheel), from minimum to maximum, in relevant browsers!

I discovered more or less accidentally that the ragged layout of the author column in the forums could be straightened by zooming in a little! Zooming in will increase the author column width - but note that the entries making the ragged left are not the longest ones. There is lot of white space between the author and the date with both short and long names, but apparently there is some connection to the width of the date text. When you zoom out, and raggedness sets in, there is no further zooming of the character size; it remains unchanged to the minimum zoom level.

This is in Firefox. So I tried Edge. Here, the columns are straight all through the zoom range, and zooming out reduces character size to far below readable. If I zoom out to see all 50 entries in one screenful, it is still readable. With Firefox, there is no way (that I have discovered) to see all 50 entries in one go.

Then I tried going the other way, zooming in. As expected (based on experience from other web pages), menu lines and similar lists are terribly messed up. With Edge, the menu changes with zoom level - 'Home' disappears, 'Quick Answers' turn into 'Q&A' (which is a reasonable abbreviation), 'Discussions' change to 'Forums', 'Features' change to 'Stuff'(!), 'Community' to 'Lounge', 'Help' to '?'. Maybe these are all attempts to abbreviate texts, but some of them are outright misleading (e.g. 'Stuff', and 'Lounge' is one of several entries in the 'Community' menu).

With Edge, there are few if any cases of different fields being put on top of each other when zooming in. In the forum lists of posts, Edge will put the author on a line below the subject, which is a good solution. Generally speaking, zooming in with Edge is reasonably good.

When playing around with the zoom in FF, once it locked up - not completely; I could zoom from 250-300% to 500%, but not further back to get an overview of the page. A reload page fixed it; I don't know

Firefox is a a completely different story. It won't change the menu entries, but places items on top of each other, such as '15,553597 members' at the top of the top banner, which is not zoomed. The left side menu overlaps the list of posts, and the subject column is reduced to with of a single word, maybe two words - while the author column fills half the window width!

If you search for a selection of messages and zoom in close, in Edge the right hand column is dropped, and the window is given a horizontal scroll bar, at least from 250% and upwards. This is reasonable behavior. In FF, the left hand menu is chopped off (not overlying the hit list in this window!) so you can't see what the filters are, and there is no horizontal scroll bar. The right hand column is not dropped.

In this hit list, if you zoom the other way, all the way out, text lines are laid on top of each other, as if the characters were reduced in size - but they are not.

All taken together: Zooming in Edge is 'reasonable'. In Firefox, it is a mess. And I prefer Firefox.

A fair share of regular posters have quite a few years of professional experience. Or stated in a different way: A fair share of them may today, or within a few years, have a real need for a well functioning zoom.
