I just registered here, can I make a few suggestion to the forum.

A button (next to the search button at the top of the page) for 'get new posts'. And next to that a 'log-out' button. That way it's more easier to navigate. And then imo the control panel links at the left top can be removed. I sometimes use those links but there are all in the user-cp.

And there's something with the 'post new thread' and 'post reply' fields. The message form is probably at fixed width, it pops to the left of my screen (using ff, 17")

All those functions are already in the upper left hand corner under "Control Panel"

I will look into the other width issue.

The functions are there but something a little more prominant might be easier, especially for inferiors.
