Off-center loading animation (horse) on forum infinite scroll

Exact URL of where the bug happened

https://lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion

Steps to reproduce the bug

• Open the browser and navigate to the Lichess General Chess Discussion forum (https://lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion).
• Open Developer Tools (F12) and change the Network throttling to "Slow 3G" or "Offline" (this just makes it easier to see the loader for an extended period).
• Scroll down to the very bottom of the page to trigger the infinite scroll/lazy loading for older forum posts.
• Observe the blue horse loading animation at the bottom of the list.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected the dark grey loading container block to span the full width of the forum table, keeping the blue horse loading animation perfectly centred horizontally on the page.

What happened instead?

The dark gray loading container does not extend fully to the right edge of the forum list. As a result, the horse loading animation (which is centered within that truncated container) appears misaligned and shifted to the left relative to the rest of the forum table.
