I added this feature within the last year, so none of the established users know it exists, but I think it has helped stave off decline as HN has grown.
- jacobolus 17y agoYou should add a bit of space between the edge of the beige and the text.
- pg 17y agoYeah, you're right. The original intention was to make the beige almost invisible, so that it just added a subtle impression of a box bounding the text, but it isn't really working that way. It works better on pages with images that are flush with the beige on both sides. If you indent the text, what do you do with the images? Indent them too? Maybe.
