Could use a designers touch. Lots of little things, mostly.

Does anyone else see Facebook api stuff as a blight on pages? As soon as I see that stale light blue...

Blight is a strong word, but it definitely doesn't fit. The background is a different colour, it only has a border at the top (and it's differently coloured compared to the other borders), and it's a sharpened rectangle when all its neighbours have rounded corners. It does stand out a touch.

Thanks. Agreed on the design that it needs improvement. Could you please elaborate little more. Might be able to fix few. Will replace the Facebook box with a button.

I get all kinds of crazy widths in chrome - check the width on your elements.

Lots of little ui issues -- low contrast in places, boxes that don't quite line up.

I'm reluctant to actually go in and try anything because I don't want to mess up the data your users already have there.

I just checked it again. Looks ok to me. Any one control in particular. Any one else seeing the same issue.
