--- Comment #6 from Mark Clements (HappyDog) <w...@kennel17.co.uk> 2010-12-13 22:36:13 UTC --- Created attachment 7909 --> https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/attachment.cgi?id=7909 Example of current banner Here is what the current banner looks like. The close button is still absolutely tiny. I know it is there, so I use it whenever I encounter the banner, and still I occasionally end up clicking through to the fundraiser page instead of closing the box as I intended. However, anecdotally, it seems that most people probably don't even notice the close box at all, due to its size, placement and colour. For example, I was watching a very tech-savvy friend browse Wikipedia recently, and on each page he had to scroll down to get to the content, because on his smallish widescreen laptop the banner (combined with the top-level navigation) took up over half of his screen, vertically. I asked him "Why don't you get rid of the banner?" to which he replied "How do you do that?". I had to physically point to the [x] on his screen (his first thought was to start looking through his preferences). He was very relieved to get rid of 'that annoying face', as he put it. I am surprised you are worrying about people being able to accidentally close the banner on small browsers, without being concerned about how the banner cripples the use of the site in those cases. I expect most users with 'small browsers' would be ecstatic if the annoying banner went away, so why make it so difficult? I am re-opening this bug, as it is clearly not fixed. If you want to close it as a WONTFIX then that's not something I can argue with, but an extra 2 pixels is clearly not good enough to resolve the problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
