I'd like to try an experiment and place the puzzle globe behind the 4 lines of text of the header. Any help/guidance you can provide would be most appreciated. --Go for it! 06:04, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

 * A version with the little puzzle globe on the right.. the text on the left is vertically aligned and it works well with any text-size. <font face="verdana" style="font-size: 8pt;">drumguy <font face="verdana" style="font-size: 9pt;">8800 <font face="verdana" style="font-size: 9pt;"> - speak? 23:34, 17 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Mozilla-specific code is entirely unsuitable. The actual image file would need to be adjusted, but I still don't think that this would look good.  &mdash;David Levy 22:46, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The Mozilla code I assume you're speaking of (-moz-opacity) isn't the only tag put in there.. there's also the IE one and the future opacity: tag. The opacity thing doesn't seem to work in Opera, though.. <font face="verdana" style="font-size: 8pt;">drumguy <font face="verdana" style="font-size: 9pt;">8800 <font face="verdana" style="font-size: 9pt;"> - speak? 23:34, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, people with IE should be able to view this page properly (even though I HATE IE). If we can overcome that...I love it.--HereToHelp (talk • contribs) 23:18, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
