Why ?
Large fonts there = ugly :D

White text on black like that is very noticable,- i seriously doubt anyone can manage to overlook that if they wish to sign up.

Could probably make it into a button like the donate one though.

That would be perfect. I had already forgotten it was there until Rotku just mentioned it. :oops:

That would work. Anything to draw just a bit more attention to it. :D

I'm not 100% happy with it, but it works i guess.

Can't you stack them on the bottom right where the Donate button used to be?

It doesn't look aesthetically pleasing to the left of the pig dragon, and even detracts from it.

Well that was an adventure.

Does this look ok to you ?

Works in IE now, finally.

This may have been mentioned here or elsewhere, but checking ten pages of replies isn't too practical. On the main ALFA page (not the forums), the heading "The Latest News" overlaps with the title of the first listed news item, "Numbers increasing." This is the case using Firefox 3 on Windows.

Under IE 7 the page displays normally, so it appears to be browser related.

That seems to be an issue on your end. Might wanna clear your cache sir.
(tools -> clear private data ) Only tick 'Cache'

That, or you have set your fontsize up quite a bit.

When in your browser press Ctrl-0 to reset your zoom setting. That should take care of the overlap.
