Is the Physics Forums Website Header Image Fragmented?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the perceived fragmentation of the header image on the Physics Forums website. Users report that the alignment of the graphics appears off, with noticeable gaps between elements, particularly in different screen resolutions. While some users see the issue clearly, others find it less obvious or believe it may not be significant. The website was designed for a resolution of 1024x768, and the fragmentation issue may not be prioritized for immediate resolution. Overall, the consensus suggests that while the problem exists, it is not deemed critical for the site's functionality.

Am I the only person who sees the graphics up the top of the Physics Forums website as fragmented?

The PF image at the left is one piece, with the bl;ue thing beside it fragemented off a cm or so, and then within that blue thing, each of the buttons are fragmented so that there is a gap between each of them.
And the top of the blue bit is actually continuous with the PF image, so that means it is out of alignment with the bit which it is supposed to be in alignmnet with...

I am using the latest IE, and have a screen resolution of 1280 x 1024
(i changed it to 1170 x 760 (whatever it is) and the fragmentation remains, but just with different gaps between the bits)

I think its just you. Or maybe its cause you use such a high res. Well high for me, I use a relatively low res of 800*600 cause my parents can't see anything if it is much higher.
 
its been like it ever since the change. At first I thought it was a glitch which would be sorted out with time, but as time has passed, and nothing has changed, plus I have seen no one else mention it, I figured no one else noticed it...
 
Now that I've taken a good look, I can notice it slightly, but it is not at all obvious at the res I'm using. I feel I'm being picky pointing that out though.
 
We are aware of the res problem. We designed the site for 1024x768. The header isn't mission critical, so it might be awhile till it's fixed.
 
I notice it too using Galeon (which is basically Mozilla with a different front-end.) I thought it was just something associated with Netscape-ish browsers but I assumed it probably looked fine on IE, which I can't use.
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
