The new ninja mod of SO has handled most of my flags this week, I am keeping him busy :D

JonasCz

Is a minor padding error like this (on Drupal only, it seems) worth a bug report on MSE ?

Bart

Ninja mod? I haven't seen any ninja mod?

@JasonC I feel stupid asking, but what is "juice your vegetables"?

@Bart Change your glasses

that's on Drupal SE, doesn't exist on SO. May be a bug with the old site designs.

JonasCz

The question, is it worth a bug report ?

Infinite Recursion

10:04

@Bart NOW! IT'S TOO OLD.

cybermonkey

@JonasCz are all SE sites scheduled to be moved to the new design yet? If not, then it's worth a bug report.

If so, can't see the need to fix it if the design's going to change soon.

JonasCz

@Bart It's right there..

Q: The padding is bad in the "blog" sidebar on Drupal, only when logged out

The title pretty much explains it, but the padding of the "blog" sidebar on Drupal.SE is incorrect when not logged in: I have not seen this on any other site.
