Hi, stumbled upon this since it has been a request from our users.

Wouldn’t it work to just use the same kind of rules on the topic.body rule?

Instead of this:

```plaintext
  .topic-body {
        width: 830px;
    } 

```

Could it be like, for instance:

```plaintext
    .topic-body {
        width: 727px;
      @media all and (min-width: 1140px) {
        width: 790px;
      }
      @media all and (min-width: 1250px) {
        width: 870px;
      }

    } 

```

This way the topic width would always go along with the timeline margin width.
