Tiny glitch here. 
This is the display in Firefox 3.0.3; in IE, it displays properly.

Congratulations Nicko. It does have a more sleek and modern look.
My one concern is that sll the lettering seems a little pale, even a little fuzzy/unclear. Is that because it's not a dark black? I can feel my eyes straining a bit to read it.
And the grey/green framing is interesting but will take a little getting used to.
But really nice work overall!

Also, are the avatars somehow less in focus?  Yeah, I can nit-pick with the best of them.

Like the look, however I still get "Database" errors from time to time at least once a day or so. |

Took me by surprise at first but then I saw the announcement. I'm one that does get accustomed to things being a certain way yet the changes that have been made here over the last several months have been very easy to accept. It's nice to see a new format role out without many of the issues I've seen and experienced on other forums. Guess I can honesty say that's one of the things that makes CT such a great place to hang out!
Thanks Nicko, Jim and the rest of the CT Mods! | | |
