I like it… though I wish that a few things like the huge usernames above the posts would chage.

I’m loving the new look. Loving it, loving it, loving it. 😃

Except for the oversized fonts.  
But I do particularly like that inserting a smiley actually puts it at the insertion point instead of the end of the text. Yay! 🆒

Oh! And it appears it _finally_ auto-inserts my signature too (never did before, try as I might).

Max.

For some reason, with the new version, I can’t do a damned thing with my browser while a thread loads. (I’m using Opera 7.01) I can’t switch over to another window – everything just stops until the page is finished loading.

It’s so 1995, after being used to opening several threads in the background while reading another one.

Ah well, I guess the hamsters are grateful.

I use Opera 7.21 and don’t have a problem opening multiple threads while reading/replying to another thread.
