Hi Lee,
I've been doing my "usual thing" in the forums today, and these are the problems I have with the new design:
1. Long links (I think) cause the text area to stretch, which means I have to scroll side-to-side as well as up and down. Not good.
2. The "(See Profile)" links add clutter and are redundant, as clicking on the poster's name located right next to this link takes you to the same page.
3. The NEW tag is also redundant, since message marking works, anything that's lit up red or yellow is "new" to someone reading. It also causes misalignment of the post highlight box in the message tree, and text runs over on top of other text.
4. Going to a link that leads to a deleted post results in some mangled page that won't fully load.
5. There's a thread in SE that is "broken" and I'm not sure what the problem is, but the text box is huge, the messages won't mark for me no matter how many times I read them, the message tree has text overlapping on other text, and the entire thread isn't visible, and there seems to be no way to make it visible. It's

I'm using Firefox.
Hope this helps!
