I like the new look so far, I get the impression that there's still a bit to be done, but find the black-on-white much more tolerable than the last layout. Keep up the good work! grin

I'm not really a fan of it, but I'll get used to it... of course, they never should have changed it the first time anyway!

I like it! It was surprising how quickly it changed. I hope this version supports side scrolling.

It's definitely better than before but needs some more work. I am having to scroll all the way to the right to read the posts with Google Chrome. It's fine in Firefox and IE.

Hey folks....keep the suggestions coming. We are making changes as I type this and issues will be handled. It really helps when you let us know what you dislike as well as what you like.

IE works fine for me.

Opera has the post marker legend overlap the red search bar.

On both Firefox 2.0 and Mozilla Seamonkey the post marker legend and everything after it is in a second column way off to the right and requires scrolling to get everything on screen (running 1600x1200)

Don't have Chrome.

Need better definition for quotes like the previous box / outline system.

Red text for category and thread titles on white background is difficult to read, it would look much better as black on white.

Shouldn't everything be wider?

Same here. I have to scroll way to the right to see the content. I have a Mac. The screen is 2 pages wide. On the left is only the SPEED header, followed by empty space all the way to the bottom. Everything else on the page is on the right-hand side. I also don't see boxes around quotes and signatures and stuff like that. That makes it hard to tell what is what.

Looks pretty good. I agree, it could be wider and the better definition of quotes also.

I made a few changes with a custom stylesheet that I thought improved things a bit, such as a border and darker background around quotes and a division between posts and signatures. Those were the two main things that caught my attention.
