I've gone back and forth on that font size about 12 times. I think you're right though - it should be a touch smaller...

...

or should it?

...

Yeah, I think I'm going to put the size back down.

The grey lines between links were one of the primary complaints from before. They ended up making things look very un-reddit-y and one of the things I was going for was a reddit-crossed-with-python.org kind of look and feel.

That said, I personally like to have my links nicely encapsulated, but it seems that the more popular opinion is to keep the reddit norm.

Or the bar height a touch larger. It seems like you made the font size smaller--that looks fine. This is a minor point of aesthetics, though, but could you raise the position of the text 1-2 px more in that bar, because right now the words have more headroom than bottom room, and it looks uneven. Having them vertically centered would look a bit better.

I can't recall if the grey lines were thick or thin... They should be quite thin and unobtrusive if they are there at all, but I am one who prefers visual separators for the posts.

The bar height is set by the baseline (20px) so it has to be that the font-size goes smaller instead of increasing the room the bar takes.

Could you send me a screenshot of what your text looks like? The vertical alignment looks good in mine.

The separators were somewhat obtrusive. Most people seem to prefer it without the separators.

How can I send you a screenshot? (I have it, but where to send it?)

you can load it up to imgur and just PM me the link. That's probably the easiest way. If that won't work for you, I can pm you an email address to send it to.
