You know what would be nice? If when we link something it not only underlines but changes the color to something like cyan.

The way it sticks out is simply unbearable:

I don't know or care if this has already been mentioned, but I believe it is essential to have the dominate ratings filing from left to right, according to the order of hivemindery. This was an essential nucodexian feature.

Should be less ugly. But is it good enough?

Most of the style is reused for different kinds of banners.

Of course. But not yet. There are other important tasks.

Alright, so now how's the rating bar and the rating menu?

It's fixed height and some of the buttons clip over it. It might look best if its size adjusted, but if it can't be done then it's better to have the buttons go over the edges than be cropped.

In fact, do we even need visible edges?

The clipping is intentional (as long as buttons don't overlap). I'm going to leave it like that for a while to see whether it grows on you.
Make it so it doesn't overflow the user box limits. Also the centered text clashes with the left alignment.
It's meant to look like a belt wrapping around the userbox, or a building facade relief.

Did all the Avatars move a bit to the left?It looks a bit off now.

Also that staff member tag that is a bit too long and breaks through the borders triggers me

Well, the ratings could be implemented as tooltips instead of spamming the window. Or perhaps as very very tiny sprites? Eh, I suppose rating grafitti is too much grafitti.
It was particularly bad for the sidebar shitbox.

This is using the same font as the rest (copied the individual letters from the other buttons).

The site upgrade is a good opportunity to get rid off those images and replace them with actual text.

My recommendation has been approved and implemented. This is the first time I have done something useful on RPGCodex.
