Also, the Singularity Institute logos and FHI Institute logos in the upper right corner aren't visible at all until I mouseover them.

EDIT: The problem went away when I hit "Refresh". It looks just fine now.

They're just dark, and become lighter when you mouseover. Increase the brightness or contrast of your monitor.

A blog shouldn't tell readers to adjust their hardware in order to view it properly.

Readers have a ridiculously wide variety of hardware (several generations of multiple platforms of desktop and laptop computers; plus a few generations of mobile device). If you're creating for the general Web, you have to design within the constraints imposed by that diversity, not tell people that they have to adjust their gear to compensate for the site's design.

Which browser and OS are you using? I'm not having this problem.

Me? I'm using Chromium on Ubuntu Natty. The person you were suggesting should adjust his/her monitor? No idea.

To me, the site appears to be sponsored primarily by the Visitacion Valley Playground, whose name appears in much clearer print than FHI or SIAI in the banner. The FHI diamond appears immediately below the Visitacion Valley Playground name; the SIAI logo appears drifting below the banner.

Here's a screenshot of what I see, mildly marked up. I have no weird font settings or browser configuration so far as I know; this is pretty much default.

But then, I gripe about flaky experimental web sites all day. Don't worry too much about it. :)

I don't see anything about a playground. Please do post a screenshot, thanks.

Done; see above.

Whoa ... on reload, the map banner is gone. I'm guessing that particular weirdness was one more effect of caching. Funky.

Oh yeah. I should mention that to people.

Comment author: Morendil 22 June 2011 07:30:36AM 2 points [-]

Woops. Same issue; same fix.

Refreshing fixed that problem, I think.

Same here. Chrome 12 on OSX. The SIAI logo shows up in the wrong place (below the header).

What's your browser and OS?

Comment author: Barry_Cotter 22 June 2011 07:16:56AM 0 points [-]

Same thing here. Chrome, XP

I can't see the rightmost bit of either logo even when I mouseover.

Browser and OS?

Comment author: Alicorn 22 June 2011 05:57:18AM 0 points [-]

Firefox on OSX.

Sounds to me like a caching issue. (We didn't handle that very well.) After you clear your cache does the problem resolve?
