@Fergus: I agree with H. G. that the header droping like that isn't ideal. Finding something better, IMO, would be good.
@H.G.: Wow. You are becoming seriously cantankerous in your old age. I've been reading your posts here and on talkchess for well over a decade and I've never seen you so agressive and adversarial. You seem very upset. I do understand having strong feelings about this site. You have been a very active supporter of chess variants. Between Winboard, Fairy-Max, your other engines, carefully evaluating piece valuations, etc., you have put an incredible amount of time into this area. So it is understandable that you want this site to be as nice as possible. I'm with you. But this conversation is going down-hill. You are now jumping from thing to thing, seemingly looking for things to point out to try to demonstrate that the site is a disaster, in what I would consider, frankly, a mean-spirited way. I'd ask you to dial that back.
I would respectfully suggest: First, letting it rest for a day or two. Then, we start freah, in an email thread with you and the editors, where we can discuss. A public confrontation, which is what this is, is not helpful to anyone. If we need community weigh-in on the subjective merits of anything, we can always start a new thread. This discussion is no longer about typography anyway.
