Greetings iMore members,

I installed a new set of post icons today. Finally they all match one another; I hope you enjoy them.

You will notice a new button labeled "NEWS TIP." This button can be used to tip Rene and the rest of the editors if you come across a news worthy post. Please do not use it to report bad people :)

If you have any questions -- just let me know.

I am responsible for all things between the header and the footer so always feel free to hit me up if you see something is broken as well.

Love the News Tip feature, but the button doesn't match the others (if it's supposed to). I just get a flat grey button like this:

Great idea though!

Aren't you worried that people will simply "report" what they've read on other blogs, which is already 90% of what is on the iMore front page?

They match? You don't see the same thing as posted above with just a grey button that doesn't match? (Cause that's what I see.)

Yes, Alli, all of my buttons are the flat gray color. I saw Massie's post of buttons and I'm kinda scratchin my head about that one. All of my buttons match and are gray.

edit: I'm on my iPad, I haven't busted out the laptop today at all, but idt that should make a difference.

Ya know, shortly after I posted I thought about that. Clearing the cache did the trick. Now all the buttons are ugly squat grey things.

And the [expletive deleted] "Manage Attachments" button is still first under the text box so I still have to tab twice to post a quick reply.

HAHA I was about to clear my cache because I have a variety of different looking buttons, but I don't want "ugly squat grey things" hahahahhaha

And they are! I'm not even fussy when it comes to the aesthetics of web design, but these are just...ugly.

:)i must be an odd one then Alli, i actually like the white/gray design of the new buttons.

I'm not crazy about the grey - it's depressing. And the shape is awful. It wants more precision than I'm willing to attempt. They're not check boxes, they can be...taller.
