Hey folks, apologies for the commenting issue. I have updated and resolved this now. You can update your extension to 0.4 in the extension manager and comments should work now.

Another note, both down and up vote arrows point up: http://i.imgur.com/sVdi10q.png

Nice job though!

Down arrows are broken, they appear as up arrows for me. The HTML is probably not easy to parse as there are no classes, but it's like the up arrows but with 'down' instead of 'up' in both id and href.

Also, the edit form is broken for comments and arrows appear beside all the links - they are being treated as upvotes I assume.

Not a Chrome user (poor font rendering on my m/c).

If you released it as a usertyle in userstyles.org, that would have been truly browser agnostic. The Stylish extension makes it possible to then use it on pretty much all browsers:

I use Georgify with Solarised (light) and comfy Helvetica together in all my browsers (Seamonkey/Firefox, Opera, Maxthon) for reading HN.

In my view, this is a much more memory friendly approach for Chrome users also, since there is no need for yet-another extension specific to one site. All they would need is the Stylish extension (which can be used to customise Google, Wikipedia, and a lot other sites).

Just my two coins.

Off-topic but this is the first I've heard of DesignerNews. Anyone have an invite? There's no way to apply for one on the site.

You can find some people giving them on twitter: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23DesignerNews

What if one is not on twitter? Are there email invites available, a la lobste.rs ?

Hey grey-area, yeah I’m yet to fix all these up. Truth be told my karma count is a little low so I wasn’t even aware of the down vote links. Will amend.

Yeah valid criticism. The biggest issue is that the HTML for HN is almost devoid of any semantic markup. This means I’m reliant on a little bit of JS to differentiate between different pages in order to achieve the desired look.

I use HNES (Hacker News Extension Suite) and it's awesome. Here's the GitHub link: https://github.com/etcet/HNES etcet is awesome about contributions, I added a big feature and he merged my pull request within hours. On top of making HN look way-more-awesomer, it also adds features like comment collapsing (best thing ever), inline comment reply, and more. If you're a Hacker News user on Chrome, definitely check it ou…

Thanks so much for sharing this; it's a complete upgrade to the classic experience in nearly every way.

Hmmm, I see.

In this case, we simply move from userstyles.org to userscripts.org ;-) There is grease monkey, tamper monkey & violent monkey which essentially allows various customisable JS codes tailored to various different sites. Like userstyles/Stylish, userscripts/greasemonkey is supported by every browser out there in some form or another.

Still, I forgot to mention earlier. Your screenshot looked good. :-)

HNES is very good, but I prefer something less invasive, so I created this:
