I find that if the window width is made too narrow, the login info appears superimposed on the site logo, as shown in the attached screenshot. This is in Chromium Version 20.0.1132.47 on Ubuntu 12.04. I'm not sure if there is any way around this problem though.

Positioning the logo on the left side would help. I did that myself with a user stylesheet.

edit:
If you can find the custom.css file for chromium, try placing the following CSS in it:
Code: 
div[style="float:right; width:54%;"] { float: left !important; }

Don't view on a tiny screen :D

On the homepage, the "stay connected' box is at the top, can you move that to the bottom and move the Scientific American links back to the top? It makes more sense as I would want to view the article links daily, but not options.

THIS! Also, when one minimizes one of those boxes, shouldn't it stay minimized when refreshed? Well, it doesn't. (I already created a topic about that, but no answers so far)

Yeah, I noticed that too. :frown:

Yes, it grows as you age.

EDIT: I agree with him tho, it does look bigger.
 
I thought I'd share a Windows 7, Firefox 17 screen shot of the home page. Are the ads shown from a list?

The text looks bigger. I like it. :)

My Microsoft gets hazy at this point but I wondered if there was something to do with dot net?

That's incredibly cute.

What the.. Are we even looking at the same page?

The text seems smaller over here. :confused:

... Well, now that I'm used to it, it looks the same--unless there has been some change done... BUT I remember it looked smaller yesterday..
Sigh, nevermind.

Could at least the "welcome text" and "stay connected box" be lined out to match the rest of the page layout? Now they're at different heights and that looks messy.

The sidebar has always been misaligned lol :)
 
It's looks a bit weird. Everything seems very tight. I would like some space between the forum tree (the one that says "PF>Lounge>FFA...) and whatever's below that.

Some of us use tiling window managers. :D

That's an excuse to misalign other content as well? :rolleyes:

Could you have a look at my screenshot? I wonder why my logo looks so ugly, also a pre-existing condition that I've tried to suppress.. but since we're now discussing the header..

I see the sidebar being about 5-6px too high. Is that what you are referring to?

Your images are definitely screwy. Looks like the color palette is reduced as the gradients aren't coming through. What browser are you using?

Currently when you look at the homepage the right column starting from "Welcome, " is too high. Not sure how many pixels, but if you're planning to keep it like this it shouldn't be too difficult to adjust it? All the screenshots that were posted have this deviation.

I use Safari, but it's the same in Firefox. I have a virtual machine with Windows and also there in IE the image looks messed up. I have OSX version 10.6.8 and checked the display color profile, but that doesn't help.

I've not encountered problems on any other website, I thought everyone was seeing the logo like that until I saw the screenshots of others :biggrin:
 
Ok something's wrong here. I just logged in but the header says I'm not logged in, but I can still browse mine (and others) profiles as if I were logged in. The green dot near my name show that I'm online, but the header says I'm not.

Ubuntu Studio 12.04, Firefox

Guests can view profile pages. All I can say is try clearing your cache and cookies. Restart the browser make sure "remember me" is checked. Let's see what happens.

Haha ok I logged out and logged back in after restarting the browser and it isn't happening anymore. But I guess I ruined this page after putting up that screenshot XD.
 
Why not fixing mine too? I have to minimize the page size to have everything in its original place. Otherwise it's a mess. I can adapt to the size change, but I have to do this every time I log in/open PF page.

Maybe I'm being dumb, but what's the problem here?

You're not, I am. I was thinking the Announcement should have appeared on top. Never mind.
