::Hey, thanks for the screenshot so quickly. I'm not seeing any problems with it though. I don't detect any sort of collision in the screenshot. Oh, wait there is a tiny area of collision at your name in the upper right, isn't there? Okay, let me ask you this. Is this the ''normal'' zoom in Chrome? Or have you zoomed in a bit? And if you've zoomed, how have you done so? See, in Firefox, you ''can'' get into trouble when you choose to zoom "text only". By the very name of the command, it should be obvious that "zoom text only" means that you're distorting the text versus the rest of the page. If you uncheck that selection, and then zoom ''the whole page'' in or out '''in proportion''', you'll never get collision. At least not so far as I can detect. I spent a lot of time on the wikia header bar checking for just this problem, and as far as I can see it's a robust design. Neither I nor any programmer can code things to prevent a page from strange effects when the text and page sizes are ''deliberately'' changed by the user to be out of synch with one another. Go to ''any'' Wikia wiki page, try the trick of Firefox zooming with text only, and you'll be disappointed by the results. Obviously, you're using Chrome, not Firefox, but you should check to see ''how'' you're zooming. ~~ | ::Hey, thanks for the screenshot so quickly. I'm not seeing any problems with it though.

::::By the way, we are just talking about the little bit of collision between your name and the three wikia drop down menus, right? You didn't send a screenshot of the menus themselves, so I assume that's not actually a problem for you anymore? And since you're using Chrome, may I suggest you go [http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?answer=96810 here] and try the second way of zooming that's described on the page? We want to test zooming everything on the page and not just the size of the fonts on the page. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''23:40:02 Wed '''23 Mar 2011 </span> | |||
