I usually don't like these "look at my awesome new design for your already successful website" posts, but this one is an exception.
This design makes what I would say are clear improvements, and doesn't try to throw out the design wholesale. This design makes just a few improvements - better use of white space, easier to read text, and I happen to think the header is better too. This pleases the part of my brain that knows how to lay out broadsheet newspapers.
Bravo, looks good! I also think the arrows should be bigger.
Thanks, I really appreciate it. Others have said nice and useful things as well, including the thing about the voting arrows being hard to hit http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2098502
