23. The styling is still rough

I hope that the UI/styling for the new site is still under development. The comments are more difficult to scan due to excessive white space around the post text. The options at the bottom of each post are also quite bulky compared to the simple text links on the original forum. There's more scrolling required to get from one comment to another, and their relationship to each other is more difficult to follow.

Any chance we'll have an option for adding our own personal style sheet? I'd love to create my own skin so I can get fussy with details that make my reading experience easier, according to my own fussy standards for good UI (designing UI was my job before I retired).
