The way things usually work on PerlMonks is if we do not like something we are encouraged to use JavaScript and/or CSS to change it (like we did in Nodelets on the left?). Given the above in combination with how things looked when the code was first pushed out (when almost every nodelet was affected), Nodelets' layout, and Site facelift? why would I ever think this is a bug?!? Next time, post what it is supposed to look like so we can tell if there is a bug vs. different standards in aesthetics.

Anyway...

Is that first space a bug? Or does the symbol/token indicating a linked list contain a leading and trailing space? That is: " | ".

Firefox is already set to load the page every time. How would I force the browser to load the latest site CSS? Or even verify that it did? Would Ctrl+F5 do the trick?

I was going to post the custom CSS and Javascript I am using, but I removed all of it and set the theme back to the default and the problem still exists! Even stranger, in IE7 the pipes are not even visible!

In my display settings, I have the following set:

• Render <spoiler> tags as: div
• Enforce proper nesting of HTML: Checked
• HTML error reporting during Preview: 4
• Code Wrap Length: 80
• Auto Code Wrapping: Checked
• Large Code Font: Checked
• Show a ID tags on notes?: Checked

Not sure what to look at after that.

Note: Using Firefox 3.6.12 with several extensions like Adblock, CS Lite, and NoScript (latter two are set to allow PM).

Update: BTW, what browser are you using?
