I personally like the new traffic page layout.  The old layout was outdated.
The lugnet layout is very sterile IMHO.  Anyway, I have another error report
for you Todd: when traffic for the market.b-s-t forum is posted, because it
line wraps, the whole # of messages collum is off by one.  The last number
of posts report is one line above the group it should be next to.  I know
this is a server generated code, but I would seggest having it write
individual table cells for each area of info, and since cells must align
with thier neighbor, this will eliminate the problem.

Sorry about that.  I used ' instead of ' in a couple places.  I forgot
that ' is only valid in XML (as opposed to all versions of HTML) and
Mozilla happened to display it correctly so I didn't even notice.  Anyway
thanks for reporting this.

OK so it wasn't an inadvertant layout change, then... what was wrong with
the old layout? This one seems less polished somehow but without a side by
side I can't quite put my finger on why.

Has this page always had the nonstandard "newsgroup-only" search box?

I know I've seen it before somewhere, but I assumed it was a forgotten
code relic from LUGNET's early days; I'm surprised to see it survived a
reworking of the page.
