Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Arial is, well, old? Maybe Verdana would be a good replacement.
Also, I think the posts themselves need to be as unencumbered by icons as possible ... for instance, instead of
posted at
<hr>
body text
<hr>
from, messenger, etc.
do something like
body text
<br>
<right>posted at</right>
Something like that would make this forum much easier to read.
Oh, and there should be a metaforum for this sort of discussion.
