I will miss the top comment on every submitted pdf being the link to the original pdf, followed by the pro vs anti-scribd debate.

I won't.

Any chance that it could be grey?

Yep. And it might also make sense to move "scribd" link to the end, e.g. -

  The First Report on Scheme Revisited (brics.dk) (scribd)

But that's nitpicking really. The change is great as is. Kudos to pg for listening to the whiners like myself :)

+1 The current color led me to think it was part of the title.

I'm not sure the tag is voluntary. I submitted it with (pdf) at the end, and edited after the posted title turned into "The First Report on Scheme Revisited (pdf) [scribd] (brics.dk)" which was a bit of a mess.

He doesn't mean the tag is optional, he means he likes how it gives you a choice between just going to the raw pdf and using scribd, so it's a tag making the use of scribd optional.

That makes much more sense.

Thank you for your correction.

No examples on the front page, so for anyone wondering what it looks like: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=227737

Better than nothing, but I'd love an option so that all PDF articles into Scribd links in the preferences. Maybe that's just because I'm in the minority of people that likes the Scribd links though. Also, this would allow anyone that never clicks the Scribd links to have a little less clutter on the front page.

Thank you very much !
