Did you know

Was already taking up too much space and presenting too much text. I don't see how this helps. futurebird (talk) 20:56, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I also think that the Did you know section is taking too much attention.  ARTYOM  21:19, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I moved the DYK down but left it at 90% with.EE 21:42, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I like the colours you're using here, they blend nicely but there is too much text with not enough spacing and section breaks, looks cluttered and fussy. --Brideshead (talk) 21:36, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Still Working it out. EE 21:43, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

And the text size will change from day to day.EE 22:11, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Search box

If you put the search box in the middle will be two on the main page. (one in the left side-bar) I think that's redundant. futurebird (talk) 22:33, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I agree. matt91486 (talk) 03:46, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Ahhh goooogle's everywhere. heeelp.Yeago (talk) 01:40, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

cent

{{Cent}} is sort of too much "shop talk" for the main page, don't you think? futurebird (talk) 00:39, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Definitely should be removed. I'm sure many regulars aren't even familiar with it or check it all that often, as it is usually only visited by those who want to be involved in in-depth discussions. Gary King (talk) 01:51, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, Lets Change that.Electrical Experiment (talk) 02:04, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Low-res

On my low-res screen, the Picture of the Day box is far too narrow to read easily - with the current picture it's typically two words per line before the text wraps. Anaxial (talk) 21:03, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
