 * Dear Support,
 * There is a table at the bottom of my website that is not mobile device compatible.
   Can you please kindly advice on what settings should I use so that when my website
   is being accessed from a mobile device, the user just need to slide left and 
   right to view the table. I have attached some pictures for your reference. Please
   kindly advice. Thank you!

 * Expecting mobile users to scroll left or right is considered to be a usability
   issue by itself. Instead of having right and left cells on mobile and requiring
   side scrolling, the cells should stack vertically on small screens so side scrolling
   is avoided. This can be accomplished with CSS media queries combined with floating
   elements, flex-box, or grid layout schemes.

 * Dear Support,
 * Thank you for your reply. It is just a very simple table. I have another identical
   website which has the same table and it works fine. I am using Oxygen editor.
   The user just need to scroll left and right to see the full content of that table.
   I believe it must be some settings that I accidentally changed wrongly. Probably
   I will attach the link as well as a screenshot of the website for your reference.
   Thank you for helping!

 * If you remove the width and flexbox rules from table containers it’ll allow mobile
   users to side scroll to see content. By having content exceed the device viewport
   width, you’ll find that it could cause a mobile usability error in Google Search
   Console. This can cause your site to not be ranked more highly in mobile search
   results.
