On this particular machine which I know is affected im running Ubuntu 11.04 Natty, and running Firefox 6.0 and the only plugin I have installed is Firebug which isn't enabled anyway. The movement occurs not on the button itself but the image on the button, when you hover over the button the image moves by 1 - 2mm.

i get this, but only on the laptop button

I think a blue or red would look alot better than the turquoise

We tried them but they don't look right in our opinion and we don't want to make the site too "gamerish" as to scare away customers who are not interested in gaming.

We have made a change to the way the left hand images are displayed. Frenchy please can you do a CTRL + F5 refresh and let me know if the issue is fixed? :)

what about when highlighted they go white

or they are originally white and highlight the greyish colour they are now

although i guess the added turquoise across the page makes it look better

We're going to stick to green for now - the whole site has this theme and from other feedback the colour has been liked. I think it's a case of some people will like green, others red, others blue etc. Green is easy on the eyes whereas red and blue have a bit of glare.

Are you getting the laptop button moving still? Try CTRL + F5 first...

yup fixed :) although on my screens u can literally hardly tell that they are highlighted. Tip incase you havent tried, grayscale the entire page and see what it looks like. You really need the contrast there in gray scale otherwise its extermely hard for colour and shade blind people like myself to see any highlighting.

yes its still doing it

here is a sorta description

the grey image uses two shades and at the bottom of the laptop screen it uses a slightly different shade which isn't really visible then when highlighted, that changes to the same colour as the rest of the laptop

if you get my drift :p

Wozza - please can you confirm it's fixed now? It's fixed on Frenchy's PC. :)

Laptop button also improved for the "two tone". CTRL + F5 will reveal.

When you go on to the configure pages and then either open the larger pictures of desktop cases or laptops and also the box that opens when you select the "?" the box that opens can sit underneath the "recent quotes" and "enter forums" buttons and also the whole row beneath "home" -through to- "business/education"

Well spotted - we'll get on to fixing that :D

When entering the username and password to log in I am unable to get the choice of "save password" as I did before, is this part of a new feature of the website or is there a way to make explorer/chrome remember the password?

Same here, none of the 3 browsers want to save the username/password and 2 out of the three are set to remember them.

Yep on Firefox 11 (IE7,8 and 9 work fine though) even on a 1920x1080 screen

Rakk - can you confirm that you are getting the issues as shown in the picture? That is - the text over the images is disappearing from the box? I have tested the website on Firefox 11 and I am not getting the problems?
