I also agree. There is too much white color, the readability is not very good.
I was exited about it as i already mentionned here that there is room for improvment of HN.
i'll uninstall it now. looking forward to try a corrected version.

Colornazi in me has to point out that white isn't really a color, otherwise I agree.

It's as much a color as any other -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_color

I hate to be "that guy" but are downvotes really warranted here? Wouldn't it be sufficient to provide a correction?

I'm pretty sure it was the arguably-wrong nitpick combined with crappy grammar that sunk it.
I try not to down-vote just for differing opinions from my own, although my emotions do get the better of me occasionally. However, if I see bad grammar it's just automatic.

Even were he correct, it was a worthless comment.

I agree, far too much white space.

A bug here: http://img852.imageshack.us/i/hngeorgify.png/# (fixed image link)
The parent post is being shown as a reply to a peer and not the post it actually replied to. Seemed like normal threading until I noticed the reply was older than the grandparent.

Surprised since the only change I did was add padding to the top and bottom. Wonder how that changed threading. I am not using one line of JS for this.
Any suggestions as to what could be causing this?

I disagree. I like the whitespace.

Try the Hacker News UX extension for Chrome (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chngbdmhgakoomomnn...). It adds dual column support and works really well with Georgify.

both plugins actually work surprisingly well together. Good combo and mitigates a lot of the whitespace issue.

Totally love all the white space... Things look so clean around here now!
Like others have said, the grey is too pale.
EDIT: It would be nice if the layout made use of columns .. this could provide innovative use of wide-screen resolutions.
