  • Just noticed the 'page is archived' banner. I'd suggest placing such banner below the title of an article not in a corner of a page. Take a look at this old page in The Guardian, they're better at making such warning harder to miss.

    But its not in the corner of the page.  Its right at the top.  its the first thing you see.  I just shrunk the browser to mimic a phone and it was quite prominent.

  • So you saw it, I didn't see it. And? Have you just proven something or what? Had the banner been by the heading we'd have both seen it. That's a whopping 50% increase in banner spotting rate. Seems like a design change worth making then, right?

    Is there any need to be so disagreeable?

    And, yes.
    Neil_Jones has just proved something. 
    He is more observant than you are.
    TBH, it's hard to miss.
