I liked it, I think it is begining to look better. I liked that you put purple only to the icons.
I think it's better to use only one color apart from brown to make it consistent. And purple seemed to fit well.
have you tried to make the background of the posts white ? just the posts not the other bits.

If just the post backgrounds were white, it would look a little something like
this, which I'm sure you'll agree isn't too snazzy. Or perhaps you meant whit
er?

The shade of purple used looks out of place to me against the other colors. I like having the highlights, but not so much the current choice.

What shades might you suggest using instead then? Lighter ones? Darker ones? Bluer ones? Violeter ones?

yes pleeeease...the classic YC colors, to me, are like that comfy old chair, blanket, sweatshirt...whatever, I just feel at home with the classic colors. I neeeed them.

Just like that old blanket of yours, the old YC skin is being whisked off, placed in a hot wash, sanitized, then returned to you smelling sweeter than ever. With blackcurrent flavoured buttons, no less.

The font size seemed a bit small on Mike's examples.
I noted though that the local library were offering old microfiche readers. I'll need one to read the new forums!
A small subscription for MP3 space seems okay though I've got used to soundclick. I presume one could still link to such a site within a post.

The font probably looks small because of my resolution, which is likely larger than most other people's. Here's a like-for-like comparison of the current post row with the new post row:

So as you can see, the sizes are the same.
None of these screenshots are actual size by the way, as I'm having to downsize them by about 30% each time.
