    For me the font size of the thread titles and the font of the posts are too small. Also that big space when quoting someone takes up screen space.

    But the lay out is functionable enough that it shouldn't turn away posters . . . as long as the Blazer forum traffic is as active as it's been, this is the place to be.

    So far it's giving me a headache. It's fine, nonetheless.

    My only complaint is the lag when I type/post. It sucks!

    Oh, I use Firefox and Chrome. The lag probably has something to do with IE. Maybe Denny can fix that.

    I am logged in now with Chrome and the lag is gone when typing/posting.

    The entire site seems to run faster with Chrome vs. IE.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    There's a ">>" button on the top-right of that column. Clicking it will collapse the column.

    My only problem with it is that even though I have it collapsed, it first renders every page with the column there, and then collapses it...which seems to slow the page loading and causes the page elements to jump around during the load (so it's not really possible to read a post as it loads).

    It's a fucking nightmare on a mobile device. The first post of every page contains a large add to the right of the text, and then there's the "latest posts" column to the right of that. This squishes the first post of every page to about 8 characters wide, making it impossible to read and often impossibly long too. Mobile devices have been using the web for years now; can we at least see an effort to accommodate them?

    There's an "archive" link at the bottom of any page. Click on that from your mobile device.

    Of course I have to get to the bottom of said page first. Why not just do a browser detect?
