That's what I mean: These spaces I emphased - between badges, badges count, and rep are same on all the pages except /users/... Check yourself: first go to e.g. home page and then to Users. The spacing I noted changes. Now choose any user in Users. The spacing changes again.

I did a full length dive from a high speed sprint and landed on my pinky finger. It was sticking out sideways after that. But I did catch the frisbee, and save the game :/
