    This is a small problem, but annoying to me.

    Before the new look, I would go to a forum or a Unread Posts list and unread thread titles would be bold. I'd read a thread, hit the back button, and the thread title I had read would be regular, so it was easy to see what was read and what wasn't. Sometimes I'd miss the last page or if the thread was active a new post had arrived while I was reading, so seeing the just-read thread title in bold would send me back to see what I missed.

    With the new look, hitting the back button shows all the previously bold titles still bold, so I don't know if I missed something. If I reload the page, titles of threads I've read are regular. But it's a pain to have to reload the page every time.

    I'm using Safari 3.2.1 on OS X 10.4.11 on this computer, but I think it also happens with the same browser on the latest 10.5 OS version.

    I have the same setup at home with the same result. I also have the same result at work, using Firefox and XP.

    I have some other issues with the new layout:

    • I can no longer post using my RSS feed reader NetNewsWire. I keep forgetting this, and will type in something to post and when I hit return I get a message "Too few characters in the post please add characters" and it wipes out my post with no recovery. Previous to the new layout, I could post, but could not add attachments. The browser in NetNewsWire is based on Webkit, same as Safari for the Mac.

    • In Firefox, if I use the "Quick Reply" feature I get the WSOD (white screen of death). There is a separate thread on this problem. Seems to be the case with Firefox on any platform.

    Also now works on my Macs, but still not working with Firefox and XP at work.
