I'm really liking the change. I read the forums on my second screen, a portrait-orientation monitor. The text is always squished in the middle, losing a large stip on both sides. With the new change the text gained back all the space on the left hand side of the screen and probably 60% wider. If there was just a way to have it extend all the way to the right side, even if only under the Latest News and Advertisements sections.
Another wish would be for those that don't have signature footers not to waste for the two horizontal bars the enclose it, and I'm not sure at all why there's a space under the bottom bar on everyone's posts.
