Everything looks great except I noticed that the search page is more cumbersome to use. I liked the checkboxes better for choosing multiple forums to search in. In order to do that now you have to scroll through the box while holding CTRL and click on which specific forums to search in. Fix that? Maybe? :)

We need a straight faced icon....like the one in MSN.

Also, is there any way to mark unread PM's as read, other then clicking on them and actually reading them?

Kinda like in Yahoo mail when I get a bunch of Paypal emails. I mark them as read and move on to the more important emails.

I find myself missing the check boxes as well. Along these lines, there are also times when I've wanted to search for something that may be in a forum that I don't have in my customization list. I'd love to have some option to search "all" forums rather than just the ones I tend to look at. As a work around, I may keep most all of the forums viewable and then just put links to my favorite forums on a links toolbar or something.

The search page does feel much cleaner. Some space under "Forum Categories" listbox which I assume is there on any resolution. Could the box be extended downward (if the checkboxes are not going to return)?

Can I request that the time of the last post be restored to the list of "Last 20 posts" on the today page? It makes more sense to show both date and time in that list, instead of showing both on the "Hot topics" list.

Seeing the time of the last post is very useful when you look at the Last 20 posts list, so you know if it makes sense to revisit a thread you posted to. When I got on this morning I couldn't tell which threads I posted to yesterday had additional posts after mine.
