Minor CSS alignment things I figured I might as well point out.

1. On profile pages, the "Storygames" header is longer than the "Recent Posts"/"Articles Written" headers. I see that this is because of the "div#profile_Stories h1" selector, which sets the width of that header only to 100%. That can be removed to make the headers the same length.

2. The sidebar, when on the forums, messages, or notepad, has a shorter line height than it does on other pages. This is because it inherits an altered line height from the body, and can be fixed by adding "line-height: initial;" to the "#BodyContainer .sidebar-content" selector.

Doubt anyone's watching, so...

3. The profile sidebar has a top margin of 10px, so it ends up ten pixels out of line with the avatar. There's not really an inconsistency here, though. Might be intended, actually. Dunno.

4. Navigational breadcrumbs have a few oddities. In the forums, they're all styled the same (Forums » Bugs & Problems » Read Message). Elsewhere (especially My Stuff), they generally follow a different theme (My Stuff > Storygames) with a smaller font, except for the Messages page, which follows the Forums theme, and the Notepad and Commendation pages, which don't have breadcrumbs at all.

We're always watching, Brad.

As far as #4 goes, that would be somewhat annoying to fix. In both cases it was probably because Alex (notepad) and I (commendations) are somewhat lazy. Can only confirm case 2 though.

I will look into fixing some CSS. Want you guys to know that it's not as simple as simply removing/adding classes/style tags in a lot of instances, because this is a legacy ASP/ASPX site and a lot of the CSS/HTML is abstracted or generated. Still definitely doable but it's not as simple as you might imagine.

Edit: But, I have to say, Bradin definitely knows his CSS!

@BradinDvorak

If you're willing to provide this level of detail, I'm willing to prioritize fixing any other CSS issues you find. Also, if you'd like to talk about graphic design in general, we may want to give the site a bit of a facelift. I have some ideas in this respect but would welcome your input.

^Same. It's why I bother going online often.

Not a big fan of dark backgrounds on websites.

I am definitely aware of this haha, it's present in the codebase for sure.

Ooh, okay. I'll keep an eye out.
