dividing lines on dlcs

delicious support forum - Power Users Speak-Out: Thoughts on Delicious.com
-I'm thinking that it might make a *big* difference simply to remove the horizontal lines dividing the bookmarks (and also perhaps those dividing the tags in the sidebar). Is this a possibility?
-mcassimatis: Someone in another thread linked to this script(http://userstyles.org/styles/9317 = delicious 2.0 - Minimalist | userstyles.org - cool , which is one way of getting rid of those dividing lines if you are able to use it. Between this script and the one to fix the colours* I found a few days ago, my del.icio.us page is readable again.
*maybe prvs pgmrk readability script: Delicious 2.0 readability tweaks http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/30916 Bolds link titles. Turns the URLs light grey. Visited links display as purple. And that is all!



Search results for lines on Delicious (my bookmarks):
dlcs/mcass/art-flickr [as ex] ...turns out these are th common complaints [lines btw marks, less readable, tags off to right, top 10 tags]. & the emphasis not s much on th pgmrks [font & contrast bad] as on statitistics of & site itself

Metafilter: A long time coming. Delicious. felix: And count the number of horizontal rules on the page y! there are lines in side bar btw tags too!

mefi thread (prvs pgmrk): ...how ppl figure out how to game a system. Check out this set of related tags (lower right) to the tag "make". posted by spock //but wh interests me here is how much better - more like old design - this looks to me. why? 1) heavy top menu not visible. 2) page title & url much bolder, easier to see (font is not diff is it?) m better. -& I guess: 3) unlined white space. since only showing 2 bkmrks w th one line btw, resembles old dlcs wh did not have line dividers on page, just the text on white space
so, learn to ignore the top menu. hope they make the fonts bolder. & wish they take away the dividing lines. (& move bkmrk's tags back to the left & in sidebar let us move top ten tags, wh d n show here bcs not a person's page.)

no lines makes big difference. would make almost 'all the' difference?

delicious support forum - Power Users Speak-Out: Thoughts on Delicious.com: "I have to agree with Nettie both on the scannability of bookmarks (the horizontal line between each one is really, really obtrusive for me)"
delicious support forum - What do you dislike about the new design?: "The new design does feel cluttered and harder to read/scan. The horizontal line between each link doesn't help."

delicious support forum - What do you dislike about the new design?: "New layout is too spread out, makes viewing the bookmarks harder. Now I have to look far right to see the tags. All those line dividers are annoying."

blocky, clunky, cluttered layout. Example: one of the main problems is that the layout makes each link take up too much ..."
