 * Hi Tobias,
 * I am trying to make my table compliant for the upcoming google algorithm on April
   21, 2015. I have read through the forums and tried various suggestions. I am 
   thinking the responsive extension is what I do not want because of my table size.
   When I tried it the table did not look great on a mobile device. Based on some
   of your comments it seems that making a table like mine responsive would best
   be solved by adding scroll bars through CSS. I tried doing this through the javascript
   method by toggling on horizontal scrolling and also the CSS method. I am not 
   quiet sure if I had it working or not as when I ran the page through the “google
   mobile friendly test” it fails.

 * I receive a message “Content wider than screen” when I run this.
 * I am currently back to my original settings. Can you please tell me – if I was
   to have this page work correctly with horizontal/vertical scroll bars on a mobile
   device, would this meet google mobile criteria? Gladly send you a token of appreciation
   if you can point me in the right direction and help me solve this.
 * Thanks Kindly,
 * Al

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Yes, the horizontal scrolling from [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/responsive-tables-scroll-only?replies=6#post-5511954](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/responsive-tables-scroll-only?replies=6#post-5511954)
   should indeed be the best option here. Can you please try that again?
