    I'm gonna leave most comments till I get used to the new format.

    Three things straight away:

    The yellow bar you see when you're not logged in -Yuuuck. (Mostly the colour) I'll never see it but guests always will

    The email box on every page - "Insert email here".
    "Insert" just feels wrong. Maybe just "Enter your Email address" would look better

    The buddy list is messed up - It's centred in the popup which means you have to scroll a long way to see it, and that also means I can't put it in my sidebar anymore.

    I'm happy to believe that the forums do look better at 800x600 with the changes to screen furniture. Unfortunately, these Oct 2006 statistics suggest that's a benefit to about 6% of the typical web user base...

    Real smooth! Nice to see you've not gone away from the original look like most websites do after a refit.

    IMPORTANT QUESTION. PLEASE RESPOND.

    On my screen there is a green bar along the right hand side as you scroll down. Some people are saying "white space". I've walked around the monitors in MSE Towers and on some screens this does look almost whitish (on others its looks quite dark green).

    When you're saying 'white on the right' is this because you don't see it. Is it a colour issue?
