Increasing Line-Height in Postbit
I noticed that the clutter of text in some of the posts look very condensed and a little sloppy. Personally, I think increasing the line-height attribute in the CSS for the postbit would really make the posts look a lot better appearance-wise. It would allow the content to be easier on the eyes and more readable in terms of usability overall.
Would anyone else agree?

I agree about the line height - the text should definately not be lightened though I think the contrast is perfect, the text is easy enough on the eye and easy to read as it is which is the most important thing.

I'm with Bazza`, I think that the contrast is great and wouldn't want the text any lighter. The leading could be increased somewhat (a good guide is to set the line-height around 1.5) to make reading longer paragraphs/posts easier on the eye.

Bazza, I partially agree with you. That's why I said "small" or a "slight bit" because I believe it's almost perfect, but now that I look at it again, it looks fine to me. It could be a couple color values up, but it'll do just fine.
Village Idiot - Yes, very easy. That's why I didn't mind posting this thread, because it is easy but it could make a reasonable difference.

Also, I just noticed something else. The new reputation button on the top-right of every post (the positive/negative hands) break the thead and is taller than the strip.

Village Idiot - In my opinion, that is a lot sexier and easily readable. Just look at the difference in my first post of this thread and the paragraph spacing. A lot more appealing.

I would consider it a bug for the line to be too close together, but I am going to have to get permission from zee before I can make this official. It will remain at 1.5 for the time being.
