[edit] Round borders on Jimbo's user page

This is the 2nd time you have changed Jimbo Wales' user page to remove the rounded borders on the boxes. Both times, you broke the CSS, making malformed tags. The first time, I undid what you did, assuming you had not intended it, however this time you mentioned it was intentional. What specifically did you mean about them being pixelated on some browsers? I am interested to know. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kaldosh (talk • contribs) 10:36, 27 February 2007 (UTC).

Um...that was like over a month ago, if I remember correctly. You bring it up like it happened not five minutes in the past. If I "broke any tags" or what ever the hell you seem so concerned about, it certainly didn't seem to change the appearance of the page. At all. And nobody complained. In fact, it looks like people rather liked the straight corners because they've stayed since.
What I meant by the "pixelated" comment was that, yes, in some browsers (specifically IE and Firefox, less so in Opera) the rounded corners appear less like corners and more like little ugly steps. This of course, depends also on the user's screen resolution, and I know it doesn't happen on current Macs. However, since probably somewhere around 99% of the people who will ever visit this site are running IE on a low-end monitor, I think it would be more than prudent to avoid what in my opinion is hardly aesthetically appealing even when not broken up by a computer into little ugly bits. 67.86.86.217 20:28, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Not that you would care, but...

I just happened to be looking at this page and noticed that it appears differently depending on whether I'm redirected or not. Just thought I'd tell you in case you didn't already know. Pretty cool stuff by the way... 67.86.86.217 04:40, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, odd. Could well be a problem my end; it's quite a complex page, so I may have screwed something up somewhere. Alternatively, your browser may have cached an older version. Bypassing the cache (CTRL+F5 in most browsers) may fix it. Anyway, glad you like it – Qxz 04:42, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Yep, that was it - now I only see the one "very important announcement" instead of three. 67.86.86.217 04:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, they were only tests; so I removed them. (Mind you, the remaining one is a test too. I'll remove it as soon as I have any real announcements to put there) – Qxz 04:46, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
