Why is text of sumissions in low-contrast grey on HN?
While we're at it, why is the 'hide' button so close to the submission link, with no confirmation?I often accidentally click hide, have to navigate to my profile, click 'hidden', click 'un-hide' then have to go back to the front page and find the post again.It could simply be replaced with an 'sure? yes / no' right before hiding and this problem would disappear.Same goes for 'flag'. In fact, sometimes I'm not even sure if I've hidden or flagged the link and I have to check both.
