You're welcome, CJoy! As for your request, I do store the last message you viewed in each thread, so showing the next one shouldn't be hard. I'll put it on my to-do list.

The fonts used on the site are located on your computer and are rendered to your moninor also by your computer. So there might be a problem at your side. Which browser are you using?

Agh yes, cyclops, will think about it. However, the best option would be to specify your time zone in the profile and then show your local time everywhere. This is what I plan to do soon.

Overall, I really like the new look. It's clean and clear. My only complaint is that the width of posts doesn't re-size to the width of my PC browser window anymore. It does on my mobile internet, tho. Maybe it's my browser, I dunno :-)

No, Andy, it indeed is fixed now at 1000 pixels. I think reading text on a wider page doesn't make much sense anyway - in particular, it's hard to switch to the next line when reading. I plan to optimize the look more, though, there will be around 10-15% space for the post text.

Still having viewing problems with my Win XP PC. Although I messed with my Firefox fonts, no results whatsoever. Maybe I'll just leave it as it is. However, everything is shown just fine in Windows Vista.

Definitely a font rendering issue on your computer. I selected "lucida" as a new typeface, I like it a lot, and it's a standard font on Windows since year 2000 at least. Not sure why your system renders it so poorly, but I will look into our stylesheets to allow for another alternative.

Art, the problem lies mainly in Firefox. I just upgraded my IE7 to IE8 and it's definately like night and day. IE8 shows the new layout much better than Firefox AND IE7. I'll upgrade my Firefox to v3.5 and see if there is any improvement there too.
