About the revised site layout...
Authored by: MJCube on Jul 29, '05 12:38:45PM

I noticed the change instantly. The resulting narrower content column doesn't bother me. Actually, it's a little better for readability with shorter lines.

But overall the layout (at least the Classic one) looks worse right now because of certain margins. With the narrower column, hint titles more often wrap onto a second line, and when they do, the two lines don't align on the left, and there's no space above, which looks bad. A bit of poking around reveals that the left indent of hint titles is currently accomplished with a hard space, which IMO is a bad method. If I were designing it I would specify margins (or padding) on all sides of those title spans in the style sheet, and dispense with the hard spaces.

If this design concern is too picayune for your time, Rob, feel free to e-mail me if you'd like a detailed CSS recommendation.
