			In the current issue, it seems like each article's image is the same size but some articles' below-the-image text is one line whereas others are two. Because it appears to use automatic packing rather than fixed-height for the text or grid-layout for the entries, that means the items in adjacent columns lower down the page are misaligned with each other. ] (]) 05:29, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

New former editor-in-chief?

I'm a bit confused by this edit: is there a new former editor-in-chief who doesn't appear in Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/About § Editors in chief? isaacl (talk) 02:32, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

That editor (called EricPupper at the time) declared themselves to be EiC in a moment of turnover at this project. I was already out as part of the team so I can't really speak to which issues EricPupper published. As I was a prior regime guy, I'll say no more. Chris Troutman (talk) 02:54, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

My mistake; I forgot (or didn't know about?) the account rename. isaacl (talk) 02:57, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Color of section headings

Is it just me, or are the black section headings above the white article titles incredibly hard to see? They are placed on top of predominantly dark images, doesn't just make them hard to read, some of them are nearly invisible. Couldn't they just be made a similar color to the article titles themselves? Toadspike (talk) 14:34, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

@Toadspike Completely agreed! I raised it here as well. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 13:04, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Links between Comix columns

As far as I can tell, six "Comix" columns were published:

Two questions:

First two (2022-08-31 and 2022-09-30) link to each other because the name of the column was changed. Shouldn't similar links be added between 2023-01-01 and 2023-12-04?
2023-12-24 links to 2023-12-04 at the bottom as ← Previous "Comix". But 2023-12-04 doesn't link back as Next "Comix" →. This just seems like a bug.

Iranian state interference with WP content?

Here's an interesting article about alleged Iranian state interference with Misplaced Pages content that might be of interest to Signpost contributors: https://www.theaustralian.com.au/world/the-times/iranian-cyber-army-blamed-as-wikipedia-deletes-atrocities/news-story/3947931532816bc4f1a9c5eca7df5f71 — The Anome (talk) 12:06, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Front-page layout

In the current issue, it seems like each article's image is the same size but some articles' below-the-image text is one line whereas others are two. Because it appears to use automatic packing rather than fixed-height for the text or grid-layout for the entries, that means the items in adjacent columns lower down the page are misaligned with each other.
