I don’t like the bubble comments. They don’t add anything to the blog. They make the comments take up more room, I have to scroll. It’s really tough on my finger.

Looks fine in Opera 9.24, but not until after refresh.

I had the same experience as al. The bubbles are not present on the first visit, but a refresh fixed that.

It looked fine on IceWeasle (Firefox) and Epiphany on Debian GNU/Linux 4.0.

OK… does work in Safari after I posted the previous denial. Must have been something cached funny? good news, anyway. sorry for the confusion.

Doesn’t look like bubbles work in Safari (Version 3.0.3 (522.12.1))… just a white background and plain text comments.

Just checked it in Firefox 2.0.0.9, it works there, even on the Mac (10.4.10). Cute.

Thanks, Tim! I just re-did the PNG files without transparency. Apparently IE6 doesn’t even support alpha transparency for PNGs…without a hack, at least. Sigh. Hopefully this fixes the background.

It looks OK in IE6, but not fantastic – the bubble is sitting against dark grey background.

Definately looks better on FF2 (I don’t have IE7 here to compare)

Here is a thought bubble comment. It looks good on MY browser, at least. How does it work for you?
