I have a horizontal list on which I have placed borders on the li tags in order to separate them. Its all working well but I have some mysterious padding on the top of the li which is making the borders taller than the text:

I have played around with the padding and margins but I cant figure out what is causing this. Any suggestions?
Here is the html:
<div id="top_center">
<ul>
<li><a href="#">(1 New)</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Verified Account</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Prefrences</a></li>
</ul>

It could be that you decrease the text size of the links.
Update: You decrease the font size here:
h5 a, #top_center li a {text-decoration: none; font-size: .75em; padding-top: 0px;}
Then the text gets aligned to the bottom of the box. To center them vertically, you can do this:
#top_center a {
vertical-align: middle;
}
Update 2: Ok with your whole CSS it doesn't align properly somehow. But this works for me:
#top_center a {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
Reference: vertical-align
