Long story short I happen to be stuck on a 1024x768 laptop display today and I noticed that nodelets do not quite fit on the screen when using the Perl-Blue theme. At least not on The Monastary Gates, Seekers of Perl Wisdom, etc. (they do fit on e.g. the display settings page). This led to some discussion on the Chatterbox....

Perl-Blue has several hardcoded values that defeat most (all?) display setting tweaking attempts.

It seems like a lot of horizontal space is being wasted for [ Offer your reply ] links. I suggested that these be moved to the bottom of the message. However, as others pointed out why do we even have these? Shouldn't readers be drilling down to the post to see what replies are already there before replying??

P.S. I also noticed that the CSS stylesheet 404267 for Perl-Blue has an incorrect comment at the top: 

/* This CSS controls the Blue Web-Safe theme. */
Ooops!! :-)

P.S.S. Special thanks to tye, ambrus, and jdporter.
