1) You didn't mention what I would have expected to be your major reason for not wanting to keep up the old SI site, which is, that it does not accommodate advertising. But it does accommodate advertising. Any non-member (or member not logged in) looking at this message in either the "classic" or new SI will see an obnoxiously flashing banner ad at the top of the window. It sounds to me like the "classic configuration" option is a good compromise. It sounds like "classic" folks would still see the new SI interface any time they ventured out of the message display and would, therefore, sometimes see banner ads, but never with messages. If they can set the option up in a way that doesn't slow down rendering of messages in the new SI interface, then this strikes me as ideal. One of the things I worried about is having links posted that would take a new SI user back to the old interface (or visa-versa). Setting it up as an option would keep that from happening. Links to messages would -- I assume -- appear in the interface chosen by the user. The test will be in that "if". Can they get the option implemented in a way that doesn't slow things down for everyone?
