Lack of interest Too much spaced

[raytrails]

I presume this is an "interim" change before the official 1.1 rolls out?

There is a need to keep the lines as close as they were, both out of estethics and out of the sheer need to keep the sidebar info as cramped as possible (I have MANY sidebars!) to save vertical space. This can seem minor, but I don't see any reason why this had to change in the first place.

Please reduce the space between the lines.

This is how it should be (taken from my own forum):

It's a design change.

You can always change the line height from 1.5 back to 1.27 for your own site.

The CSS is:
.pairsRows, .pairsColumns, .pairsJustified {
line-height: 1.5;
}

OK, but a design change should be for the better. This is hardly so, imo there's no shame in reverting...

Good or bad design is in the eye of the beholder

In this case, whitespace trumps both. And I am glad to see the improvement. Though 1.5 in itself is perhaps an arguable value.

Well, I agree with you in that. But in this case there is a sudden increase only in Forum Statistics, while the other default sidebars have the old value. It should be consistent.

The new line-height looks better to me, and yes it should be consistent.

Is it bad I didn't even notice until this thread?

I don't mind this change.

 

[jmurrayhead]

I like it. Looks less cramped.

I like the new look, I vote to keep as is

 

[raytrails]

Damn, I guess the change will be kept then - although I will keep stressing the importance of consistent line-height throughout the sidebars. Manually changing this with each upgrade isn't particularly fun
