Ask HN: Did the vertical spacing increase?

5 pointsmarkkat3 comments

I am used to seeing almost 27 posts per page, but now I see 24. I thought I was imagining it, but the cached version is more compact: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https://news.ycombinator.com/

Apparently the height of the <tr> containing the title has increased from 16px to 19px.

No opinion on it.

Not sure what the reasoning behind it was, but it now displays 11% less information per pageload, with no improvement (for me at least) to readability. Hopefully they can either justify it (no pun intended) or better yet revert it.

Soon: news.news.ycombinator.com—all the daily updates you could want about changes to un-cache-busted HN CSS and backend modifications.

Juicy.
