Well.... I liked the subject being the link, but you've already
"fixed" that.
I don't know, I'm very accustomed to the click on a subject line to
read the message, whether it's in a newsready, mail client, etc.
This new interface sorda looks a little like Slashdot, and the way it
breaks off articles in mid-sentence is about as maddening as Slashdot
can be sometimes. Guess I'm just not use to thinking of a REAL
discussion forum looking that way. (Note, I don't think of Slashdot
as a real discussion forum, if for no other reason than it's
practically impossible to keep up with the thread or lack thereof.)
Hrmmm, other than that I don't know. I know the new look is more
planned out, and I guess it's more "polished" - but I guess I liked
the simplicity of the old look. There's an awful lot going on with
the new look, but that may be a good thing.

OK, now you can click on either the little square box or the subject line on any message to read it. So it's un-"fixed" now. :-D (...) Hmm. You (...)

| (...) Don't worry, you're not missing any information... It actually is shades of gray in many places. Only a couple of the grays are off-gray, and those are only off-gray in a very subtle way (about 5% into the red/yellow "warm" spectrum). With the (...)
