Simplify the top bar - I never use "Comments" or "Saved", and clicked maybe once on "top comments" and "top" by curiosity. Those kind of special links are good to have but don't need to be at such a prominent place, they could be at the bottom of sidebar (a bit like the "special" buttons in the wikipedia sidebar, random page and the like.

You could even have the "Recent Comments" and "Recent Posts" headers in the sidebar clickable, so you don't need those links in the top bar any more.

So the links at the top could only be "Main Page", "Discussion", "Wiki", "Sequences" and "About", reducing clutter a bit.

They already are clickable.

I am ashamed to not have checked this.

Dammit.

Well, um, they aren't obviouly clickable which for now makes having the same links in the top bar justifiable.

He he.

That is for sure. Moreover, clicking on "Recent Posts" leads to a different style of presentation than any of the links in the header leads to.

I use "Comments" regularly.

... actually, so do I. Hmm, serves me right for writing posts in a hurry, I must have been thinking of "New" or something.
