some interest bars are so big that they obscure text

Here's a screenshot:

Workarounds for this would be to enable the "opacity" option by default, or to somehow make the interest bars appear behind the text.

You could just right align the bars. That would also be beneficial to readability.

@MW3000 There's no limit though, so the bars will still run off the screen if the comment count gets too high. My proposed solution (#12) scales the bars relative to the sentence with the highest number of comments.

Just had another report of this come through the contact form:

Subject: can't read the text!

Comment: the text is being obscured by the blue blocks that are built up as people comment on it. can you sort this out? I can't read the text.
Thanks!
