comment Why use a 3-column layout like StackExchange, Facebook and YouTube?
All that seems to be true, but I would also add that it might also have to be with the human eye. I remember reading in one of Adrian Frutiger's book about how the human eye is always looking for the middle of things and also tries to mirror both sides. For that reason it might be that people find centered websites more beautiful or easier to read.

comment Photos of Users on the Main site
I would second @ajkochanowicz and recommend that pictures look not only pretty but you might also want to pick the ones that look natural too! I'm a fan of this kind of solutions picturing users, sometimes using them in "testimonials", but I have seen on user tests that if pictures are not carefully selected and look "real" then the effect on users is rather negative, causing mistrust and lack of confidence.

comment Contrast on footer and other elements
Yes, I was actually talking about contrast (and not opacity). Thank you for pointing it out and thank you for the great answer! I edited the question.

comment Best way to show a form field group with multiple values?
Regarding your first paragraph, I do think such situation would be a problem, people could start filling the fields but I wouldn't bet on them remembering the field names for long. Specially, it could be confusing if there are columns with similar data, for example having 2 or 3 columns with dates.

comment How to represent an X/Y mood data to a user within a very small space (32x32)?
I second Igor-G, why not trying mood face icons? They could also look fun and push for engagement!

comment Impact of OpenID versus proprietary login on site traffic
Exactly that is the point and what we have to take care of at the moment of choosing which buttons we offer to our audiences :-)
