There are definitely some wrinkles to iron out. Make the images the right size and readable, maybe also increase the contrast in some of the colors. Actually I'm seeing a lot of wrinkles. We should probably make a laundry list and see if there's any way the community can help.

I'm very happy that there's a meetup system now, so the revamp is definitely a good thing overall. But there's still work to do.

What do you mean by 'make the images the right size and readable'?

Comment author: Manfred 22 June 2011 05:19:56AM *  1 point [-]

By the right size, I mean I'm seeing the borders as cut off on the + and - buttons, only seeing half of the SIAI and FHI image, and then only when I mouse over. The icons that you are going to click a lot should also be larger - I don't want to have to work for it. By readable, I actually meant two things. "A community blog devoted to refining the art of human rationality" is unreadable in the images. And the icons probably do need little readable labels on them so someone who doesn't use the site every day doesn't have to wait for the alt-text every time.

Same here on Linux/Firefox. Turns out the cause was a browser-cached copy of the old version of those images.

Ah, I'll hold judgement a bit then.

EDIT: Yay everything's fixed. Well, not everything. The biggest problems.

I now see thumbs-up and thumbs-down icons instead of the cut-off + and - icons.

Yup, looks like that was also one of the problems caused by an old browser cache.

I am also seeing the + and - icons cut off; I'm using Firefox under Windows.

I had it but fixed it by reloading - F5 / Shift+F5 didn't work, the reload button did.

Are you zoomed at 100% in your browser?

Comment author: Manfred 22 June 2011 05:50:10AM 0 points [-]

Very likely, and it's the same size as shows up on other computers, but I don't know that there's a way to test it. Zooming in doesn't fix the images being cut off, it helped the discussion section header from unreadable to just too small, but it didn't help the main page header, where the problem was light beige on light beige.

What's your browser and OS?

Comment author: Manfred 22 June 2011 06:20:46AM 0 points [-]

So to be clear, you don't see the same problems?

This computer is windows XP, latest version of chrome.

Comment author: lukeprog 22 June 2011 06:45:00AM 0 points [-]

Right, I don't have those problems, as I understand your explication of them.
