Love the new layout! Haven't tried everything yet, will do soon.
Just a minor thing that would take 5 minutes to correct.
Could you add a "title" attribute to forum links so that when I hover over a long thread title that has been cut (with "..." at the end) I can still read the full thread title without having to click on it.
I would be really useful because there's often threads with title like "You won't believe what I found out today about...", I click on it and it turns out the missing part is "the US postal service".
Signature goes here!
