Wow, there's a LOT of snow out there! Just had to say that for the record.
I think that a properly re-tweaked version of the new format will be finalized
enough to go online today. I hope none of the unwashed heathens have been
bathing, since this version of the format will have the long-awaited return of
retro colors... a good thing too, as any longer and they'd probably have to be
renamed nostalgic colors.
For me the text of the bodies for the news blurbs on the main page is just about the same as before, but the heading text (the title of the story) is small (smaller than the body text). The time/date of the post and the "post comment" link are really tiny.
Running IE, desktop at 1600x1200 with large fonts, if it matters.
