Thanks, Greg.  Greg on "Light Grey" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-grey#post-881303 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 19:30:06 +0000 Greg 881303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Diana, I think your issue is fixed. Please try zooming out and see whether it breaks the layout. Also, in future don't hold back from opening a new thread, even if you think it is related to an existing one. I might lose track of something if I don't see it in the list.

When you get home can you please take a screenshot with a lot more context -- as much of the YLF windows as possible? Also, I would like to know whether you see this problem in both "modes", both narrow and wide. Interesting one! Diana on "Light Grey" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-grey#post-881141 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 16:54:31 +0000 Diana 881141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OK, so this is weird.  My work Macbook pro (Mac OS 10.6.8, Firefox 19.0.2) is showing the layout correctly.  My older Mac laptop at home, which is running exactly the same configuration, is the one showing the broken layout.  No idea why... I did try to clear the cache but that did not help.  The older laptop (with the broken layout) does have a 15" screen, and the other one is 13".  Aside from age and general speed, that is the only difference. Greg on "Light Grey" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-grey#post-881111 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 16:32:15 +0000 Greg 881111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ariadne, several people have mentioned that they are struggling to see the grey, so I will tweak the colors later today. You're quite right that monitors can be very different and things that look quite contrasty on ours look washed out on others. But by experimenting we'll find a happy medium. Greg on "Light Grey" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-grey#post-881105 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 16:27:12 +0000 Greg 881105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Diana, it seems that on your Mac the layout is broken for some reason. It should look the same way it does on your iPad.  Which browser (and version of it) are you using on the Mac? Diana on "Light Grey" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-grey#post-880974 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:45:53 +0000 Diana 880974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ps- Greg, my name and picture are on the upper right corner in the dark gray bar on the iPad... It's only on my Mac that it looks like the photo above. Diana on "Light Grey" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-grey#post-880810 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 05:36:36 +0000 Diana 880810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have a related comment about text color, so I thought I'd just glom onto Ariadne's post rather than starting my own.  Hope that's OK!  Anyway, I had a very hard time finding the tab where I could look at my profile, access my messages, etc.  I have finally found it but on my browser my name is almost invisible - in the attached screenshot, it says "Diana" in very small, almost invisible text right above where it says "youlookfab" and that is what I have to roll over to get access to my messages, etc.  Rolling over my picture above it does nothing.  Ariadne on "Light Grey" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/light-grey#post-880800 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 05:31:25 +0000 Ariadne 880800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi Greg - the redesigned site looks gorgeous.  I love how clean and bright it is. I'm having trouble with the light grey font that's used throughout.  For example, to the right of my avatar, it's used for my username, rank, and the phrase 'View Forum Posts.'  On the main forum page it's used for how long ago a forum topic was posted (ie "25 minutes ago by Ariadne") and so on. It is too light for me to read without a lot of squinting.  If it were even 15% darker it would probably be fine.  The light grey background with white images and text that's used for things like font formatting in forum posts, the 'Add a photo' graphic, etc. is also too low-contrast to view comfortably, at least to my eyes and on my monitor. (I know contrast and color display vary quite a bit from monitor to monito.  I don't think I have any monitor calibration issues because I'm not having trouble with contrast on other sites.)
