  Yes, if a website does something fucking stupid like hide half the screen under a fixed banner then people are going to mention it.

    Perhaps a bit over dramatic? On a 13" MBP, it takes up 110px of a total 680. ~16% of the height is accounted for with the fixed header. I agree its a bit on the tall side and could be reduced but I don't think "fucking stupid like hide half the screen" is really required in your comment.

      I posted a screenshot. Did you see it? In landscape (940 x 640 tall) there are 40 pixels used by the iOS status bar, then 285 pixels are used by the fixed banner, leaving just 315 pixels for the content. Switching to portrait was almost as bad, with only nearly half the screen hidden. I stand by my comment: hiding half the screen behind a fixed, un-closable banner is fucking stupid if people are doing it deliberately. Luckily they've fixed it, so it seems like it was just a mistake.

        I wasn't disputing the validity of your comment, I was questioning the necessity for vulgar language to achieve your point.
