    Can't complain about it.  I think the left sidebar might be more useful if you could somehow make it static (for instance if it were actually a separate frame) rather than having it scroll with the main window.

    As for the font, I liked the Arial because it was easier to read online.  Sans-serif fonts are generally easier to read in posts, while serif fonts tend to be easier on the eyes in print.  (I note, however, that Arial is still the default font for actual messages on the forum, while Times New Roman is used only for headlines, and that's not bad at all.)

    It looks good. But you should remove the left sidebar.

    The left sidebar is the whole point of doing it.  I need a place to put ads that won't annoy/interrupt the flow for regulars.

    It's serviceable, but to be honest, I preferred the sans-serif look of the old forum's font. 

    In message bodies?

    I didn't say that the sidebar is a bad thing. I just don't like it the current form.

    Apparently the Arial font is only when you're actively replying/writing a message.  It might be better to switch it back for message bodies at all times…

    Everything's all squashed over to the right… Most likely 'cause I have to keep my resolution at 800×600 or my crappy monitor starts flickering like mad.

    What's your screen resolution?

    800×600

    I am afraid you are two of four people on the planet still using 800×600.  Seriously, it's dropped from 15% of the Amaz0ns visitor base a year ago to about 5% today. 

    Go treat yourselves to some new monitors, fellas.

    Oh, and something else that I just noticed, where's the direct link to our My Messages?  At the moment I'm going through a previously saved link on my Favorites pull down to get to them.

    I like the font…and the colors are ok….the sidebar is going to take some getting used to.

    I'm OK with it.

    And I had to use that line. Chloe used it in one of the first episodes of Smallville and it stuck with me.
