The share button for Twitter on Area 51 looks dated, and none of the buttons are retina display optimized. An itch to scratch would be to switch the "t" to a bird and/or retinize those images.

A variation of the old (really old) Twitter logo is being used in various places on Area51 when sharing is involved:        This goes against  (which have been in place for at least 4 years now), which state:     USAGE GUIDELINES / IT’S A BIRD, NOT A PLANE      The Twitter marks represent the core values of our brand, from meaningful connections in real time to simple amplified expression. Please don’t present the marks in a manner that suggests sponsorship or endorsement by Twitter, or confuse Twitter with another brand. Always use our official and unmodified Twitter logo to represent Twitter.            Don't         ...   Use older versions of the logo, previous logos, or any marks that may be confused with the brand

I can see that I will quickly come to love the Lion way of scrolling.  My brain will soon become rewired to think of moving the content with my gestures instead of moving the controller down to slide content up in my fixed viewport.  I have several macs that need to remain on Snow Leopard for some time, and would love any suggestions on how I might change them to better fit Lion's new model for scrolling.

Over the last week or so, the official top bar has returned to Area 51.  It was there briefly a few months back, but seems to have returned for good.  Definitely a positive, as I have always welcomed our new top bar overlords.  The rep dropdown (of yore) was the only way to see new reputation changes on Area 51, though.  Since the Area 51 reputation tally is not integrated with the rest of the SE ecosystem and there is no designated area on the Area 51 profile for recent rep changes, I'm down to the old abacus for keeping track of changes.  Having this reputation information may seem trivial, and it is, but I do use the growth in number of new followers as a cue to check on my proposals.  I certainly don't think it's worth anyone's efforts to crowbar the old Area 51 system into the new top bar, and I understand all of the issues in , but is there any way to monitor these rep changes in the meantime, or could we just get the old rep dropdown back again for a time, like it had been up until last week?    I'm not a begging person, but any hint of an Area 52 would be nice, too.

It'd be nice if the chat notifications in the feed used the default Stack Exchange icon like the ones in the inbox do*:     Since items in the feed are grouped so that multiple items from the same site , the site icon helps delimit grouped items a bit less subtlely than the grey divider lines, and chat replies' lack of one causes them to sort of blend in to the previous group.  *Ideally it'd use the icon of the site the room was associated with, but I don't think that information is readily available

I am looking for a canonical question and answer on this issue.   (see ) on  has prompted me to ask this question.        In all honesty I think we just don't need a comic strip to explain what a user is saying. Currently I edit out emoticons I see, but this post presents a whole new type of .... ? what I'm not sure.  Is there are community consensus on this either way?  These questions are related — but different:        Please try and answer sensibly (rolls eyes at the prospect of a flood of emojis in answers) — so we can actually have something that we can link to new users (or old users) when editing this stuff out — or (even worse), defending its existence.

This is the right edge of my topbar, starting today:    Any particular reason why I'm not seeing my total reputation and badges there? Since it's a major part of the "gamification" setup, am I correct in thinking it's a bug? Is it exclusive to Safari iOS?  Update: I highly doubt it's my viewport, since there's plenty of space for it:    If this is a viewport problem, why is there so much space for it?

The image is broken in my  to the "favorite programmer cartoon" question. I'd be happy to fix this, but I can't (not enough rep? not a moderator?).  Here's the image in the Internet Archive:

I was thinking about this issue from time to time but I didn't know whether it really exists or just an speculation on my side until today when I woke up [!], I saw  downvoted (in the meantime I'll leave that answer unedited for the sake of discussion; note that this is just a sample. I'm not asking "how to deal with this specific answer." The question is completely general as it's nearly impossible to keep track of all of your answers to see whether they require updating or not). While the downvoter didn't explain a thing, I suspect the reason is that the answer is no longer applicable (It's one of the new features in iPhone OS 3.0). As we go to celebrate a long sequence of birthdays for Stack Overflow (hopefully!), we're going to see lots of answers become obsolete. How we're going to deal with this issue?

I am, like so many other graphic designers, very excited about the new MacBook 15" with retina display. But there is one thing that I really am concerned about. With 4 times the pixels as on ordinary screen, how can we be sure, that the preview of an image, is what we really get?  When images are optimized for web usage, how can we be sure that the optimized image, is what the end user (with a non-retina display) wil be seing?

Since I am a regular Stack Overflow follower, I came across this and was shocked a bit regarding the design and user experience perspective.  Attaching picture 1 - it states that I can click any site and view a synopsis about it. Clear!!!    Attaching Picture 2 - you can see that when I clicked Webmasters, the design wants me to scroll horizontally to view all information and basically it hides information.    It would be nice, if it did something like below :

The bug appears, with my account, in every post that haven't any answer yet. At the bottom just above the "Your Answer" section, I always see:     Know someone who can answer? Share a link to this question via email,   , , or .   In my mind, there should be a link to share to Twitter, Facebook, or other social networks, but I'm on any of these.

Some of the newer tablets and also Notebooks (notably the iPad, Macbook Pro and the Nexus 10 tablet) use displays with ultra-high resolutions at around 300 dpi. This makes text look very, very good, but it also means that images that are not adapted to that resolution can look rather bad in comparison.  Here are some crops from a screenshot from my Nexus 10:    and    These show that the StackExchange button and the logo, which contain text and hard edges, looks noticeably softer on a high-resolution display. This is of course no big deal, but it is very noticeable.  It would be nice if at some point some of the common images on SE sites that contain text or other hard edges would be served as high-resolution versions to devices with such high-resolution displays. This is obviously not a critical issue, but it would be nice if it could be tackled at some point.

What makes a design look old? How subjective is this? Who decides?   Look at this Bell logo:    It's from 1969. And boy, does it look that way. It's simple and minimal, but.. it looks old.  Take a look the this BP logo:    Old. And not too pretty. And yet.. someone thought it's a good idea.   And something I find ridiculously curious: the old Chrome vs the new Chrome logo:    I remember when I first saw the new icon. I thought it was pretty bad. It lacked something. Today, I look at the old one and smile, thinking "aw, that was ugly. In a cute way, though".  This doesn't only apply to logos that have been improved, I think:    Sorry, Nike. I love the brand, but that logo looks like you paid $35 back in '71 for it.  Now let's go for something else, though a bit off the real logo-esque topic:    I'd believe if someone told me this was a 2013 model. I want one, by the way.  Take a look at most cars from the 90s. 80s. 70s. 95% look horrible. 4% are nearly classic, 1% are so ugly they have their own cult.  What drives the way we perceive "new" vs "old" design?  Look at the web. Flat UI is becoming more and more popular, making gradients look old.  Why? Who decides this? How much of this is about taste and how much about trends?  I mean.. you couldn't slap the old, rainbow-colored Apple logo on the back of every MacBook out there and make it look good today, could you?

Ok first, there's that lugubrious use of the semicolon; not necessary.  Second, I didn't open a frame!  You did!  Alls I tried to do is upload a 5MB animated .gif file via Imgur.    Looking further into this, Imgur actually posts an error when you upload an animated .gif larger than 2MB.    Go figure!

I came across something rather interesting today. I was browsing Area 51 on Chrome when I happened to click on . To this, I was greeted with a prompt asking:    As , and fully expecting a crash, I clicked on SE. However, that didnt happen.     Now, since Area 51 Meta is working correctly as far as Q&amp;A is concerned, I think it should be added to the All Sites list and if at all possible, made directly browsable from within the app.

I asked about it on  and they told me to post it here.  Probably need to add the :active to the :hover meta class or something like that.  Example:      Hammer Time

A question from  popped up in the "Hot Network Questions" list, and I couldn't help but notice that its icon is a little bit... lacking.        Shouldn't there be some letters there or something? Maybe "Ec"? Both the main site and the meta are equally nondescript.             As pointed out by  in the comments, this is a high-DPI specific issue.     This is another one of those "shows up on normal DPI, but breaks on high DPI" bugs because  is missing the Ec, but  is not.
