firefox

[edit]

On firefox I see overlapping text. futurebird (talk) 15:09, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where do you see it? I use Firefox as well, but I don't see overlapping text anywhere. -[[Ryan]] (me) (talk) 15:13, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm on a Mac, so maybe that's it. It's on the right side, the pic. of the day is on top on the text. futurebird (talk) 15:15, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's the same for me, Firefox on PC. The pink box is to the right of the light blue box and the text and picture is to the left of the box (inside the light blue box). It looks right in IE though, but every paragraph is centered in it's box, I don't know if it's meant to be like that. Bootini (talk) 15:34, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I took a screenshot: Image:Wikipedia 2008 main page redesign proposal Ryan.jpg. XRK (talk) 16:05, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I attempted to fix it, and my edit resolved the spacing issues for me. Anybody else? --XRK 16:16, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Looks fine for me now. futurebird (talk) 16:21, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Web 2.0

[edit]

This feels very Web 2.0-ish to me, which I don't think is the way to go with Wikipedia which caters to everyone, not just an "elite tech" group. The rounded corners are especially Web 2.0-ish, and I don't think they carry over well with all mediums. Some platforms don't show rounded corners as well as Firefox 3.0, for instance.

Yeah, I'm afraid it doesn't really blend in well with the rest of Wikipedia (even though it does look really slick). — FatalError 21:21, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lots to like

[edit]

Ryan, pardon the late comment going down the list. On the project talk page some commenters were clamoring for a centered header. This is the best example I've seen. Among other good things. Nice work. —SusanLesch (talk) 07:09, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
