Screwed for me too I noticed it earlier but wasn't in a position to do a screenshot... I really should have taken a full screen shot but it would be really long.

Never saw that, I'm afraid... Does it still do it?

Oh, BTW, the French version has a new logo. This time it's the monochrome version. I find it... Interesting. I also did a lozenge vesion, it's interesting too, but a bit too busy[1]
 1. It even says "Wedge Forum" instead of the usual "Wedge"... :wow:), I won't bother posting it for now.

This is exactly what I talked about -- Lorenzo's thought is broken.
As I said, the blurb field is limited to 255 bytes, and thoughts are as well. However, if you start using bbcode and smileys in them, the resulting HTML is stored, not the thought text (to save time processing it), so it may happen that the thought gets broken precisely while inside a HTML tag, which happened here -- and because that tag is never closed, HTML5 layout processing leads to breaking the page as it does.

This is something that can easily be fixed by setting the blurb field to a smallint instead (64KB), but I'm sure Pete has something to say about it ;)

A few fun variations I made yesterday and today, sorted from latest to earliest... (One of these is in my sig currently, as can be seen.)
Some logos aren't very readable, sorry about that, didn't really test.

(And I'm not saying they're better than the current ones, either. I do like all of them :P)

It's the same as the others, only an horizontal version for sigs ;)

What's odd is that I like it too, considering how cliché it is :P

I like oddone and welov5 a lot. They all look great, though. :)

The blue ain't thrilling, I'll grant you.

Oh, here's another one I made this morning... As you can see, I'm trying to make the W more 'dynamic', more bendy. Colors aren't perfect, they need to be blander I think (rather than complementary), but I like the idea of 4 colors on the logo.
