The design of this site is rendered fairly poorly in browsers that are configured to enforce a minimum font-size above a certain bound. Specifically:

green circles aren't scaled to fit the digits shown on top of them
the Karma Score value is overlaid on the text "Karma Score"
part of the text box for entering comments is pushed under the right sidebar
the untoggled states of the Vote {Up, Down} indicators aren't displayed quite correctly

Steps to reproduce with Firefox 3.0.6 (I haven't tested other versions, but this is likely to also work with 2.x and other 3.x):

I also have a few feature requests:

comment previews
an option for comment entry text boxes with more vertical space
an option for using more horizontal space for displaying articles, comments and comment entry text boxes, when available - the OB design makes much better use of horizontal resolution than the current LW one.

On comment previews: You can edit your comments after you've posted them, so this is probably something nice-to-have rather than urgent.

Agreed, but when you do that the comment tends to jump up and down and I've had trouble finding the posted comment / edit box in the thread.

On more horizontal space: We'll hopefully be fluid width before many of you read this comment.
