| Like everything but the blue circle icons for "new posts" / "locked thread" etc. They're not clear on first view. You have to actually look at each and every one to see where there's new stuff. I'd choose a clear colour saturation difference, i.e. a light (almost like the background) for "no changes" and the full colour for changed threads. And their edges seem pixelated somehow. Other than that: Love the change. But I have to admit, it's a bit wide for a fixed table. Guess the header design doesn't let you make it more narrow...

| The wideness is also, from a designer's standpoint, too wide for the type. Too many words per line. With a flexible table width, I can choose the width of the lines, but with a fixed set, one should be chosen that is friendly for the reader in my opinion (and the one of those who created the books on type and design).

| I have to agree on the width...it's a bit hard to use on the ibook at 1024x768. I normally keep my browser around 700 to 800 pixels wide...just feels better to me that way. Line length, as others have said, is also too long to comfortably read. 10 to 15 words per line on average is a good range for it.

| Im not a fan of "expanding" sites... so to make up for those with small displays or using low resolutions on larger displays the "Small Width Style" is for you. Not much of a change, but needless to say, it is what we had previously. Toward bottom of the page you will see a "drop down" and you will be able to select your style preference. |

| On my previous grip, I have noticed one thing. The adds look like they are apart of a persons post because the post body color (I am not a web designer) is so similar to the white background of the add. The problem could be address by having a thin line bordering the post's box (of a person's post message).

| I agree, looks alright, but I have to keep Safari maximized and I hate those blue circles.
