I never really noticed that. Hasn't it always been that way - hyperlinks usually are underlined?

Just recently they are too close to the bottom of words, maybe a google chrome update broke this?

Yeah, I think it's a browser setting. "Always underline hyperlinks", or something like that.

Just tried safari and its a chrome issue, although there is no setting for that in chrome. See the attached files, chrome left and safari right. I minor but annoying difference.

The underline spacing is at 0. I don't remember it being like that before.

I remember before there was some line spacing, now it looks to be right at the bottom.

I thought you meant in the CSS. Do you have any plugins enabled?

It's not happening in chrome for me: https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/19366067/

I just fired up Firefox and the spacing is normal. The line is closer in Chrome. The same as in the other screen shots others posted above.

Now I am still on 10.6

I only noticed this last night.

Same here, on Chrome. It looks awful.

Also been seeing this on Chrome. They just forced an updated new version today so I guess it's related to that.

Edit: I'm seeing it on a lot of other sites so it's definitely something Chrome has changed.

Safari is fine and a better overall browser anyway of course.

Looks like it's a Chrome bug with the latest update:

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=394662

I updated to 37.0.2062.20 beta and still see it.
