Re: [Wikimedia-l] New style banner - A heads up

"Offensive" seems a bit over the top! Who's it offending? Seems pretty okay to me, personally. :-) Anyway, the only thing I notice with it is that it starts with "We will..." and then says "When I made..." etc. Shouldn't these pronouns agree? —Sam. On Thu, 24 Aug 2017, at 04:07 PM, Peter

Re: [Wikimedia-l] New style banner - A heads up

I think they continue to display the absolutely most irritating behaviour of the old banners, which is the several second delay between the screen that shows the content, and the overlaid banner that in the "old" baner covers the content someone has already started reading and in the "new" banner

Re: [Wikimedia-l] New style banner - A heads up

When viewed on my iPhone the 'New Native Feel' version has *five* full screens of text headed 'To all our readers in the US'. To be honest, unless I had known about this in advance I would have thought I'd been directed to the wrong page. I'd never bother to scroll down that far to get to

Hey Brad, I can see that confusing people is not what we should be aiming for :) Would it help sooth your mind when there is a clear distinction between content and banner, even if the look and feel is the same? (I can imagine that you could accomplish this by doing the banner at full site width,
